Prove that 




Solution:

In proving the trigonometric functions, the first thing that you have to do is to choose the more complicated side of the equation and then simplify and compare with the other side of the equation if they are equal or not. 

In this case, let's choose the left side of the equation as follows



If you will continue to expand further the above equation, it will be more complicated and longer. Let's substitute all  trigonometric functions with another variables as follows

Let 


 





then the above equation becomes































since







then the above equation becomes



Therefore,
