Given cosθ = 3/5 and θ is located in the fourth quadrant; find sin 2θ
answer choices:
-24/25
-8/25
-6/25

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ.  We were given cosθ so that means we need to find sinθ to fill this in and get the answer.

Constructing a right triangle in QIV with 3 along the x-axis and 5 as the hypotenuse, we can find the other leg using Pythagorean's Theorem.  It turns out that the other leg measures -4 (because y is negative in the fourth quadrant).  Filling in our identity:

[tex]sin(2\theta) = 2(-\frac{4}{5})(\frac{3}{5})[/tex] which simplifies to

Answer: -24/25
