Here is the problem:



I convert it into terms of cos and sin and try to simplify the left side.


_________



Then, if I took it a step further and made them get a denominator of cos sin they'd end up on top with

and on the bottom . I could make the bottom (using the Pythagorean identity):



And that's how far I've gotten before everything fails.
