Given that pie<= t <=(3/2)pi and sin theta = -1/4 using trigonometric formulas to find the exact value of the following.
Note: t is in QIII where both x and y are negative
--------
Since sin(t) = -1/4, cos(t) = -sqrt(4^2-1^2)/4 = -sqrt(15)/4
--------------------------------------
cos(2t) = 1 - 2sin^2(t) = 1-2(-1/4)^2 = 7/8
------------------------------
cos(t) = -sqrt(15)/4
--------------------------------
sin(2theta) = 2sin(t)cos(t) = 2(-1/4)(-sqrt(15)/4 = sqrt(15)/8
