Decide whether the expression is or is not an identity. -The power dissipated in an electric circuit is given by the expression P=RI2\mathrm { P } = \mathrm { RI } ^ { 2 } , where R\mathrm { R } is the resistance of the circuit and I\mathrm { I } is the current through the circuit. For a sinusoidal alternating current, the current might be represented by the relation I=Asin⁡(2πft)\mathrm { I } = \mathrm { A } \sin ( 2 \pi \mathrm { ft } ) , where A\mathrm { A } is the amplitude, f\mathrm { f } is the frequency, and t\mathrm { t } is time. Write an expression for P\mathrm { P } involving the sine function, and use a fundamental identity to write P\mathrm { P } in terms of the cosine function.
