If cos(x)=-1/4 and tan(x)<0 what is sin(2x)​

Mathematics

By definition of tangent,

tan(<em>x</em>) = sin(<em>x</em>) / cos(<em>x</em>)

so if tan(<em>x</em>) < 0, and we're given cos(<em>x</em>) = -1/4 < 0, then it follows that sin(<em>x</em>) > 0.

Recall the Pythagorean identity:

cos²(<em>x</em>) + sin²(<em>x</em>) = 1   →   sin(<em>x</em>) = + √(1 - cos²(<em>x</em>))

Then

sin(<em>x</em>) = √(1 - (-1/4)²) = √(15/16) = √(15)/4

Recall the double angle identity:

sin(2<em>x</em>) = 2 sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>x</em>)

Then

sin(2<em>x</em>) = 2 • √(15)/4 • (-1/4) = -2√(15)/16 = -√(15)/8

Which of the following functions has the steepest slope?
choli [55]
C. Because you have to look for the greatest number. Disregard whether it is negative or positive. Since you are looking for steepness. That does not matter.
