Follow proof below.
Explanation:
We have:
One of the Pythagorean identities is
We can rearrange it to get:
Let's apply this rearranged identity to our proof:
The numerator is the difference of two squares, and can be factorised as:
Now, one of the standard trigonometric identities is
Applying this, we get:
