\[x = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {{{\left( { - 1} \right)}^n}{{\tan }^{2n}}\theta } \]
= 1 -- tan2\[\theta \] + tan2 4\[\theta \] + ...
= \[{1 \over {1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta }}\] = cos2 \[\theta \] ....(1)
\[y = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {{{\cos }^{2n}}\theta } \]
= 1 + cos2
\[\theta \] + cos4
\[\theta \] + cos6
\[\theta \] + ....
= \[{1 \over {1 - {{\cos }^2}\theta }}\] = \[{1 \over {{{\sin }^2}\theta }}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \] sin2 \[\theta \] = \[{1 \over y}\] ...(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get,
x + \[{1 \over y}\] = sin2 \[\theta \] + cos2 \[\theta \]
\[ \Rightarrow \] x + \[{1 \over y}\] = 1
\[ \Rightarrow \] y(1 -- x) = 1
