Answer:  \bold{-\dfrac{161}{289}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: cos x = \dfrac{8}{17}, x is in Quadrant 4

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find sin x:

8² + y² = 17²    

      y² = 17² - 8²

      y² = 289 - 64

      y² = 225

      y = 15

→    sin x = -\dfrac{15}{17}

Use the double angle formula to find cos (2x):

cos (2x) = cos^2 x - sin^2 x\\\\.\qquad=\bigg(\dfrac{8}{17}\bigg)^2-\bigg(-\dfrac{15}{17}\bigg)^2\\\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{64}{289}-\dfrac{225}{289}\\\\\\.\qquad=-\dfrac{161}{289}

Answer:

- \frac{161}{289}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identity

cos(2x) = 2cos²x - 1

given cosx = \frac{8}{17}, then

cos(2x) = 2(\frac{8}{17})² - 1

           = 2 × \frac{64}{289} - \frac{289}{289}

          = \frac{128}{289} - \frac{189}{189} = - \frac{161}{289}
