if sin x = -3/5 and x is in quadrant 3, then tan2x = ____. -24/7 24/7 12/7 -12/7

Then for tan(2x) you have to use the identity/formula for double angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is tan(2x) = 2tan(x) / 1 - tan(x)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you go on from here? Just substitute tan(x) into that equation :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 12/7 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get 24/7 :) perhaps you forgot to double the top where it is 2tanx / 1- tan(x)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24/7
