Suppose that sin(t)=7/25 where t is in the 1st quadrant. Find cos(2t). Help please and show an example with numbers please the words are what confuse me in the 1st place!
***



Identity: cos(2t)=cos^2(t)-sin^2(t)=576/625-49/625=527/625
Calculator check:
sin(t)=7/25
t≈16.26º
2t≈32.52º
cos(2t)=cos(32.52º)≈0.8432
exact value=527/625≈0.8432
