Since the common radius of convergence is infinite, the termwise differentiation of a power series theorem applies on the entire real line. For the even series, differentiation and the index change give
The odd series similarly gives . Thus everywhere. By the product rule,
The mean value theorem implies that a differentiable function with zero derivative is constant on the real line. At zero, the series give and . Consequently . This derives the identity from the power series without assuming a trigonometric identity in advance.
