*sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(θ)
sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(12/13)
-------------------------
sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
=
------------------
sin(2t) = 2sin(t)cos(t)
= 2(5/13)*(12/13)
= 120/169

15. Evaluate sin(π/12)-sin((5π)/12).
*My answer was 1. Am I correct?
No. Use a calculator to see that it's -sqrt(2)/2

I will do question 6 only.
6. Find the exact value of sin 2 θ given that cos θ = 12/13 and θ is in Quadrant I.
We are in quadrant 1 which means all trig functions are positive. So, there's no need to worry about signs in this case.
Using a right triangle in the first quadrant, we know that cos(theta) = adj/hyp.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we also learn that the missing side is 5.
sin(theta) = opp/hyp
sin(theta) = 5/13
cos(theta) = adj/hyp
cos(theta) = 12/13
We now plug it into the formula sin(2θ) = 2sin(θ)cos(θ) and simplify.
sin(2θ) = 2(5/13)(12/13)
sin(2θ) = 2(5/13)(12/13)
sin(2θ) = 120/169
