Question 829183: Hello, I was hoping you could help me verify this identity. I'm actually really good at the various identities and verifying them, but this problem is proving really complex for me and I just can't seem to get through it. I was hoping you could really show me step-by-step on how to get the answer for this problem.

Thank you for your help in advance, I appreciate you taking the time to assist. Found 2 solutions by stanbon, lwsshak3:Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ((cos(a)-cos(b))/(sin(a)+sin(b)))+((sin(a)-sin(b))/(cos(a)+cos(b)))= 0
==========
numerator:: {[cos(a)+cos(b)][(cos(a)-cos(b)] + [sin(a)+sin(b)(sin(a)-sin(b)]}
denominator: (sin(a)+sin(b))(cos(a)+cos(b))
--------
numerator:: [cos^2(a)-cos^2(b)] + [sin^2(a)-sin^2(b)]
denominator: no change
---------
numerator:: [cos^2(a)+sin^2(a) -(cos^(b)+sin^2(b)]
denominator:: no change
----
numerator:: [1 + 1] = 2
denominator: no change
------
Equation after changes::
2/(sin(a)+sin(b))(cos(a)+cos(b)) = 0
------------------
2 = 0
If I have made no mistakes, there is no solution.
