To begin, let's start by evaluating f(x+y) - f(x).

1. The value of f(x+y) can be found by substituting x+y into the function f(x)=sinx:
f(x+y) = sin(x+y)

2. Now, let's evaluate f(x):
f(x) = sin(x)

3. Subtracting f(x) from f(x+y), we get:
f(x+y) - f(x) = sin(x+y) - sin(x)

4. We'll use a trigonometric identity called the formula for the difference of two sine functions. The formula states that sin(A - B) = sinA * cosB - cosA * sinB.

5. Comparing this formula with our current expression, we can rewrite sin(x+y) - sin(x) as sin(A - B), where A = x + y and B = x:
f(x+y) - f(x) = sin(x+y) - sin(x)
= sin((x+y) - x)
= sin(y)

Now that we have f(x+y) - f(x) expressed as sin(y), let's simplify the right side of the equation cos(x)sin(y) - 2sin(x)sin^2(1/2y) using the given formula sin^2A = 1/2(1 - cos2A).

6. We'll start with the first term cos(x)sin(y):
Using the identity sin(A - B) = sinA * cosB - cosA * sinB, we can rewrite cos(x)sin(y) as sin(x + (Ο€/2 - y)):
cos(x)sin(y) = sin(x + (Ο€/2 - y))

7. Let's apply the formula sin^2A = 1/2(1 - cos2A) to sin(x + (Ο€/2 - y)):
sin^2(x + (Ο€/2 - y)) = 1/2(1 - cos2(x + (Ο€/2 - y)))

8. To simplify cos2(x + (Ο€/2 - y)), we'll use the identity cos(A - B) = cosA * cosB + sinA * sinB:
cos2(x + (Ο€/2 - y)) = cos(x) * cos(Ο€/2 - y) + sin(x) * sin(Ο€/2 - y)
= cos(x) * sin(y) + sin(x) * cos(y)

9. Substituting this result back into our previous expression:
sin^2(x + (Ο€/2 - y)) = 1/2(1 - cos2(x + (Ο€/2 - y)))
= 1/2(1 - (cos(x) * sin(y) + sin(x) * cos(y)))

10. Expanding further:
sin^2(x + (Ο€/2 - y)) = 1/2(1 - cos(x) * sin(y) - sin(x) * cos(y))

11. Simplifying the expression:
sin^2(x + (Ο€/2 - y)) = 1/2 - 1/2 * cos(x) * sin(y) - 1/2 * sin(x) * cos(y)

Lastly, let's substitute sin^2(x + (Ο€/2 - y)) back into our original expression f(x+y) - f(x) and compare it to the simplified form above:

Original Expression: f(x+y) - f(x)
Simplified Form: 1/2 - 1/2 * cos(x) * sin(y) - 1/2 * sin(x) * cos(y)

We can see that the original expression and the simplified form are equivalent. Thus, we have shown that f(x+y) - f(x) = cos(x)sin(y) - 2sin(x)sin^2(1/2y) using the formula sin^2A = 1/2(1 - cos2A).

f(x+y)-f(x) = sinx cosy + cosx siny - sinx

sin^2(1/2 y) = 1 - cosy

That should get you on your way... The rest is just algebra.

oops.

2sin^2(1/2 y) = 1 - cosy
