    Please learn to use parentheses. What you wrote for the left hand side is this:



    Clearly this is equal to 0. I suspect what you meant to write is this:

    1/(1-sinx) - 1/(1+sinx).

    Hint: to start try combining these two fractions into one. Also convert the right hand side to sine and cosine equivalents
