Solution
LHS= `(cos^3 θ + sin^3 θ)/(cos θ + sin θ) + (cos ^3 θ - sin^3 θ)/(cos θ - sin θ) `
=` ((cos θ + sin θ)(cos^2 θ - cos θ sin θ + sin^2 θ))/((cos θ + sin θ)) + ((cos θ - sin θ)(cos^2 θ + cos θ sin θ + sin^2 θ))/((cos θ - sin θ))`
= (cos2 θ + sin2 θ − cos θ sin θ) + (cos2 θ + sin2 θ + cos θ sin θ)`
= (1 − cos θ sin θ) + (1 + cos θ sin θ)
= 2
= RHS
Hence, LHS = RHS
