Why does this equality hold?
$sin x - sin y = 2 cos(fracx+y2) sin(fracx-y2)$.
My professor was saying that since
(i) $sin(A+B)=sin A cos B+ sin B cos A$
and
(ii) $sin(A-B) = sin A cos B - sin B cos A$
we just let $A=fracx+y2$ and $B=fracx-y2$. But I tried to write this out and could not figure it out. Any help would be appreciated

Following your professor's advice, let $A=fracx+y2$, $B=fracx-y2$. Then $$x=A+B\y=A-B$$So the LHS of your equation becomes $$sin(A+B)-sin(A-B)$$Now you just use the usual addition/subtraction trigonometric identities (i) and (ii) listed to evaluate this. It should give $2cos Asin B$ as required.

The main trick is here:
beginalign
colorred x = x+yover2 + x-yover2\[1em]
colorbluey = x+yover2 - x-yover2
endalign
(You may evaluate the right-hand sides of them to verify that these strange equations are correct.)
Substituting the right-hand sides for $colorredx$ and $colorbluey,,$ you will obtain
beginalign
sin colorred x - sin colorblue y = sin left(colorredx+yover2 + x-yover2 right) - sin left(colorblue x+yover2 - x-yover2 right) \[1em]
endalign
All the rest is then only a routine calculation:
beginalign

sin left(x-yover2right) cosleft( x+yover2 right)\[1em]

Following your notation, let $A=dfracx+y2$ and $B=dfracx-y2$.
Note that $A+B=x$ and $A-B=y$.
Now, $sin x=sin(A+B)=sin Acos B+cos Asin B$ and $sin y=sin(A-B)=sin Acos B - cos Asin B$ from your professor's advice.
To get the LHS, $sin x-sin y = 2cos Asin B$. And that's it. Replace $A,B$ in terms of $x$ and $y$.
