Question

If θ is an angle in standard position that passes through (-3, 4), find sin2θ.

Answer 1

Correct answer: sin 2Θ = - 24/25

Explanation:

If under the standard position you think that the first arm (side) belongs to the positive direction of the x axis and the second one passes through a given point then it is:

if we form a right triangle with sides 3 and 4 then the hypotenuse is 5.

sin Θ = 4/5 and cos Θ = - 3/5

we know that the formula for double the value of the angle is:

sin 2Θ = 2 sinΘ cosΘ = 2 · 4/5 · ( - 3/5) = - 24/25

sin 2Θ = - 24/25
