The trigonometric identity is .
Start with the left side,
\ (Apply reciprocal identity:
)
(Simplify)
+
\Apply commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a.
\ (Apply pythagorean identity:
)
(Simplify)
(Take out common term 2)
(Cancel common term)
(Apply reciprocal identity:
)
Then left side identity and right side identity is equal.
The trigonometric identity is established.
