It is verified below:

Explanation:

#(sinx+cosx)^2/(sin^2x-cos^2x)=(sin^2x-cos^2x)/(sinx-cosx)^2#

#=>(cancel((sinx+cosx))(sinx+cosx))/(cancel((sinx+cosx))(sinx-cosx))=(sin^2x-cos^2x)/(sinx-cosx)^2#

#=>((sinx+cosx)(sinx-cosx))/((sinx-cosx)(sinx-cosx))=(sin^2x-cos^2x)/(sinx-cosx)^2#

#=>color(green)((sin^2x-cos^2x)/(sinx-cosx)^2)=(sin^2x-cos^2x)/(sinx-cosx)^2#
