use the following information to determine sin (2x)
\n" ); document.write( "tan(x) = 3 and sin (x) is positive
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "reference angle is in quadrant I
\n" ); document.write( "hypotenuse of reference right triangle=√(1^2+3^2)=√10
\n" ); document.write( "sinx=1/√10=√10/10
\n" ); document.write( "cosx=3/√10=3√10/10
\n" ); document.write( "sin 2x=2sinxcosx=2*√10/10*3√10/10=6*10/100=0.6
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "Check: (w/calculator)
\n" ); document.write( "tanx=3
\n" ); document.write( "x≈71.565˚
\n" ); document.write( "2x≈143.1301
\n" ); document.write( "sin2x≈sin(143.1301˚)≈0.6000..
\n" ); document.write( "Exact value as determined=0.6000
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
