Prove the following identities:
`1/(sin θ + cos θ) + 1/(sin θ - cos θ) = (2sin θ)/(1 - 2 cos^2 θ)`.

Solution
LHS = `1/(sin θ + cos θ) + 1/(sin θ - cos θ)`
= `((sin θ - cos θ) + (sin θ + cos θ))/(sin^2 θ - cos^2 θ)`
= `(2 sin θ)/((1 - cos^2 θ) - cos^2 θ)`
= `(2 sin θ)/(1 - 2cos^2 θ)`
= RHS
Hence proved.
