Start with the left-hand side:
\(\frac{\sin^3 \theta}{\sin \theta - 1} - \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{1 + \sin \theta}\)
Find a common denominator:
\(\frac{\sin^3 \theta (1 + \sin \theta) - \sin^2 \theta (\sin \theta - 1)}{(\sin \theta - 1)(1 + \sin \theta)}\)
Simplify the numerator:
\(\sin^3 \theta + \sin^4 \theta - \sin^3 \theta + \sin^2 \theta = \sin^4 \theta + \sin^2 \theta\)
Thus, the expression becomes:
\(\frac{\sin^4 \theta + \sin^2 \theta}{(\sin \theta - 1)(1 + \sin \theta)}\)
Recognize that \(1 - \sin^2 \theta = \cos^2 \theta\), so:
\(\frac{\sin^2 \theta (1 + \sin^2 \theta)}{\cos^2 \theta}\)
Using \(\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\), we have:
\(\tan^2 \theta (1 + \sin^2 \theta)\)
Therefore, the identity is proven as:
\(-\tan^2 \theta (1 + \sin^2 \theta)\)
