    Verify (cos(x) sin(x))/(cos(x)-sin(x)) - (cos(x)-sin(x)/(cos(x) sin(x)) = 2tan(2x)
    I can't verify this identity! I'm so stuck. Please help and show full work. Thanks!

    I'll try to make it look like it does in my book...
    cos(x) sin(x) - cos(x) - sin(x) = 2tan(2x)
    cos(x) - sin(x) cos(x) sin(x)

    By direct computation:






    Using sum formula for sin and cos,




    as the tan is sin/cos.
