Question 945484
Find the exact value of cosine 2 theta given sine of theta = negative 3 over 8 and theta is between 270 degrees and 360 degrees.
***
Identity: cos(2x)=1-2sin^2(x)

sinx=(-3/8)
sin^2(x)=9/64
cos(2x)=1-2(9/64)=1-18/64=46/64
..
Check:
sinx=-3/8 (Q4)
x≈337.97
2x≈675.95˚
cos(2x)=cos(675.95˚)≈0.7187..
exact value as computed=46/64≈0.7187..
