    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.
