Step 1: Expand: cos⁡(x−y)=cos⁡xcos⁡y+sin⁡xsin⁡y\cos(x-y)=\cos x\cos y+\sin x\sin y and cos⁡(x+y)=cos⁡xcos⁡y−sin⁡xsin⁡y\cos(x+y)=\cos x\cos y-\sin x\sin y.

Step 2: Divide every term of both by sin⁡xsin⁡y\sin x\sin y: numerator becomes cot⁡xcot⁡y+1\cot x\cot y+1, denominator becomes cot⁡xcot⁡y−1\cot x\cot y-1. …
