If csc(theta)= -5/3 and theta has its terminal side in Quadrant III, find the exact value of tan(2theta).
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "csc = r/y = -5/3 in QIII where x and y are negative.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "So r = 5 and y = -3
\n" ); document.write( "Then x = -sqrt(r^2-y^2) = -sqrt(16) = -4
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "tan(t) = y/x = 3/4
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "tan(2*t) = 2tan(t)/[1-tan^2(t)] = 2(3/4)/[1-(9/16)] = (3/2)/(7/16) = 24/7
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
