How to simplify cos x cos y(tan x + tan y)?
I don't even understand what to do. Do i distribute both of the cos separately or independently? Someone, please show me the easiest way.

We can simplify to
Explanation:
I would start by rewriting in terms of sine and cosine.
=cosxcosy(sinx/cosx + siny/cosy)
Now distribute and cancel.
=cosysinx + cosxsiny
Now this is familiar. Recall that
=sin(x +y)
Hopefully this helps!
