You can put this solution on YOUR website!
tan^(-1) of -15/8 is approx -62 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "trig functions are periodic - we are looking for the angle in the second quadrant which is equivalent to -62 degrees, that angle is 180-62 = 118 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "sin(118) = 0.88
\n" ); document.write( "cos(118) = -0.47
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "sin 2x = 2sin(x)cos(x)
\n" ); document.write( "sin 2x = 2(0.88)(-0.47) = -0.83
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "cos 2x = 2cos^2(x) - 1
\n" ); document.write( "cos 2x = 2(-0.47)^2 - 1 = -0.56
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "tan 2x = (2tan(x)) / (1 - tan^2(x))
\n" ); document.write( "tan 2x = (2(-15/8)) / (1 - (-15/8)^2) = 1.49
\n" ); document.write( ":
