if cscθ=4 and θ is in quadrant II, find the exact value of sin2θ
-----------------------------
With theta in QII, x is negative and y is positive.
-----------------------------
Since csc = r/y, r = 4 and y = 1
Therefore -x = -sqrt[4^2-1^2] = -sqrt(15)
-------
Your Problem::
sin(2t) = 2*sin(t)cos(t) = 2(y/r)(x/r) = 2(1/4)(-sqrt(15)/4) = -sqrt(15)/8
