We are given some definitions about a function $r(u)$:
1) $r(u)>0$
2) $r(u)= r(u+2pi)$
3) $r(u)+r(u+pi)= lambda$
4) $r(u)$ is continuous
5) $int_0^pir(u)costheta=0$ and $int_0^pir(u)sintheta=lambda$
The following identities are to be proven:
The first proceeds as follows:
I have tried over and over to prove the second identity, and it seems like it should be easy. However, I keep getting $lambda +lambdacostheta$ instead of $lambdacostheta$ ... what am I missing here? And sorry for the awful formatting, as you can see I'm fairly new to MSE.

You should be ending up with $lambda +lambda(costheta-cos0)$ which will give you the desired result since $cos0=1$.

Aha! Thank you so much, I just ran into so much mental gridlock there.

Let $$F(theta)=int_theta^theta+pir(u)sin(u)du.$$
The derivative is
$$F'(theta)=$$
$$r(theta+pi)sin(theta+pi)-r(theta)sin(theta)=$$
$$-sin(theta)Bigl(r(theta+pi)+r(theta)Bigr)=$$
$$-lambda sin(theta)$$
and after integration,
$$F(theta)=lambda cos(theta)+C$$
with $theta=0$, it becomes
$$int_0^pi r(u)sin(u)du=lambda=lambda+C$$
thus $$C=0$$
Done.
Thank you very much for answering :) Another user was helpful in pointing out my original error in the comments above, but I will mark this as the correct answer as well because I think it's a very cool approach! In fact, this method is somewhat more direct than the one I was following in my paper...
