Use sin of theta = -8/17
and theta lies on quadrant III
find the exact value of a) sin 2 theta
----
Find the cos(theta) = sqrt(1 - sin^2)
cos is negative in Q3
-
Then sin(2t) = 2sin(t)cos(t)
-----
b) cos 2 theta
Then cos(2t) = sqrt(1 - sin^2(2t))
-------------
c) tan 2 theta
tan(2t) = sin(2t)/cos(2t)
