By definition of tangent,

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

Recall the double angle identities:

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

cos(2<em>θ</em>) = cos²(<em>θ</em>) - sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1

where the latter equality follows from the Pythagorean identity, cos²(<em>θ</em>) + sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1. From this identity we can solve for the unknown value of sin(<em>θ</em>):

sin(<em>θ</em>) = ± √(1 - cos²(<em>θ</em>))

and the sign of sin(<em>θ</em>) is determined by the quadrant in which the angle terminates.

<em />

We're given that <em>θ</em> belongs to the third quadrant, for which both sin(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative. So if cos(<em>θ</em>) = -4/5, we get

sin(<em>θ</em>) = - √(1 - (-4/5)²) = -3/5

Then

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 (-3/5) (-4/5)) / (2 (-4/5)² - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = 24/7
