If csc(theta)= -5/3 and theta has its terminal side in Quadrant III, find the exact value of tan(2theta).
------
csc = r/y = -5/3 in QIII where x and y are negative.
------------------
So r = 5 and y = -3
Then x = -sqrt(r^2-y^2) = -sqrt(16) = -4
------
tan(t) = y/x = 3/4
------
tan(2*t) = 2tan(t)/[1-tan^2(t)] = 2(3/4)/[1-(9/16)] = (3/2)/(7/16) = 24/7
