Question 570993: Can you pull of coefficients of sine? That is, can you do moves like this:
sin(1/2theta)=1/2sintheta?
If the answer is "yes", prove it using identities or geometry. If the answer is "no", give an example of a particular theta for which this fails.

No, you can't.
sin(30) <> 0.5*sin(60)
