Explain why you cannot use the Distributive Property to evaluate an expression in the form of sin(a + b). Please illustrate with an example along with your explanation.

The distributive property is to multiply the outside of a parenthesis by each term inside, for example:

this cannot be done with the trigonometric functions such as the sine.

An example of this:

let's prove that we don't get the correct result using the distributive property in the following expression:

≠

We add the elements in the parentheses on the left side:

 ≠

this are known values of the sine function:

substituting these values we will get that:

-1  ≠ 0 +1

-1  ≠ 1

Thus we notice that we don't get the correct result using the distributive property.

The correct way to express the angle sum in the sine function is:
