You have the following expression:
To verify the identity, you have that the left side of the equation becomes:
(1 + cosx)(1 - cosx) = (1 - cos^2 x)
because of the product of an expression by its conjugate result in a difference of squares. Or simplfy by expanding the factors and simplying.
Next, you have:
1 - cos^2 x = sin^2 x
because the Pythagorean identity.
Then, the identity is verified.
