Prove that sin theta cos theta = cot theta is not a trigonometric identity by producing a counterexample

To prove that ( sin θ cos θ = cot θ ) is not a trigonometric identity.

Begin with the right hand side:

R.H.S = cot θ =

L.H.S = sin θ cos θ

so, sin θ cos θ ≠

So, the equation is not a trigonometric identity.

Anther solution:

To prove that ( sin θ cos θ = cot θ ) is not a trigonometric identity.

Assume θ with a value and substitute with it.

Let θ = 45°

So, L.H.S = sin θ cos θ = sin 45° cos 45° = (1/√2) * (1/√2) = 1/2

R.H.S = cot θ = cot 45 = 1

So, L.H.S ≠ R.H.S

So, sin θ cos θ = cot θ is not a trigonometric identity.

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation: the answer is 27. first multiply .32 by 25 which equals 8. then add 8 to 25 which gives you 33. then you subtract that from 6 since she gave 6 to her brother.
