Given:

\sin x=-\dfrac{15}{17}

x lies in the III quadrant.

To find:

The values of \sin 2x, \cos 2x, \tan 2x.

Solution:

It is given that x lies in the III quadrant. It means only tan and cot are positive and others  are negative.

We know that,

\sin^2 x+\cos^2 x=1

(-\dfrac{15}{17})^2+\cos^2 x=1

\cos^2 x=1-\dfrac{225}{289}

\cos x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{289-225}{289}}

x lies in the III quadrant. So,

\cos x=-\sqrt{\dfrac{64}{289}}

\cos x=-\dfrac{8}{17}

Now,

\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos x

\sin 2x=2\times (-\dfrac{15}{17})\times (-\dfrac{8}{17})

\sin 2x=-\dfrac{240}{289}

And,

\cos 2x=1-2\sin^2x

\cos 2x=1-2(-\dfrac{15}{17})^2

\cos 2x=1-2(\dfrac{225}{289})

\cos 2x=\dfrac{289-450}{289}

\cos 2x=-\dfrac{161}{289}

We know that,

\tan 2x=\dfrac{\sin 2x}{\cos 2x}

\tan 2x=\dfrac{-\dfrac{240}{289}}{-\dfrac{161}{289}}

\tan 2x=\dfrac{240}{161}

Therefore, the required values are \sin 2x=-\dfrac{240}{289},\cos 2x=-\dfrac{161}{289},\tan 2x=\dfrac{240}{161}.

You put the whole number on top of 1, it doesnt change its value. then you simplify across like in a butterfly only if needed then you multiply across from left to right.

Umm.. Hi there! Can someone please help me out with this? (only for those who know the answer)
nignag [31]

Answer:

The Exterior Angle of triangle LDR is angle d. The Remote Interior Angles are a and b.

The Exterior Angle of triangle PDR is angle 4. The Remote Interior Angles are angles 1 and 2

Explanation:

<u>Interior angles</u> are the angles that are inside the shape. The <u>remote interior angles</u> would be the 2 angles away from the exterior angle.

The <u>exterior angle</u> is the angle, made by the side of the shape and a line drawn out from an adjacent side.

I hope this helps!

Rachel bought some buttons2/4 are yellow 2\8 are red which color button was more bought
Lesechka [4]
Rachel bought a collection of buttons.

2/4 of the buttons are yellow.  2/4 * 8 = 1/2 * 8 = 4 yellow buttons
2/8 of the buttons are red. 2/8 * 8 = 1/4 * 8 = 2 red buttons

Therefore, because we know that 4 of the buttons are yellow and 2 of the buttons are red, and we know that 4 > 2, we know that more yellow buttons were bought.
