Hope this helps! If so, may I get Brainliest and a Thanks?
Thank you, have a good one! =)
Divide both sides by -3, and replace
with
. Then

Factorize the quadratic in
to get

which in turn means

But
for all real
, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with

If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:

Answer:
- sin(4a) = -24/25
- cos(4a) = 7/25
Step-by-step explanation:
Your calculator can tell you these values:
sin(4a) = sin(4·arctan(3)) = -0.96 = -24/25
cos(4a) = cos(4·arctan(3)) = 0.28 = 7/25
_____
Some useful trig identities are ...
sin(2a) = 2tan(a)/(1 +tan(a)^2)
cos(2a) = (1 -tan(a)^2)/(1 +tan(a)^2)
Filling in the given value for tan(a), we find ...
sin(2a) = 2(3)/(1+3^2) = 6/10 = 3/5
cos(2a) = (1 -3^2)/(1 +3^2) = -8/10 = -4/5
Now, double-angle formulas are useful:
sin(4a) = 2sin(2a)cos(2a) = 2(3/5)(-4/5) = -24/25
cos(4a) = 1 -2sin(2a)^2 = 1 -2(3/5)^2 = 7/25
The desired trig function values are sin(4a) = -24/25; cos(4a) = 7/25.
