Explanation:


\sin(x - y) + \sin(x + y) = 2 \sin(x) \cos(y)

We use the sum and difference identities.

Remeber the sum difference identity is


\sin(x + y) = \sin(x) \cos(y) + \cos( x ) \sin(y)

and


\sin(x - y) = \sin(x) \cos(y) - \sin(x) \cos(y)

So we get


(\sin(x) \cos(y) - \sin(y) \cos(x) ) + \sin(x) \cos(y) + \sin(y) \cos(x)

Combine like Terms.


2 \sin(x) \cos(y) = 2 \sin(x) \cos(y)

We have provided it.
