Factor cos(x)sin(x)

Problem

cos(x)*sin(x)

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a product of trigonometric functions that resembles the double angle identity for sine.

2. Recall the double angle identity for sine, which states sin(2*x)=2*sin(x)*cos(x)

3. Manipulate the identity to isolate the given expression by dividing both sides by 2

4. Rewrite the expression in its factored or simplified trigonometric form.

Final Answer

cos(x)*sin(x)=1/2*sin(2*x)
