How to do these
If and , find
- sin of double the angle is 2 sin cos.
- 2 times 3 fifths times 4 fifths.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Doubling the ratio instead of the angle. sin 2θ is not 2 sin θ, and the gap is large: with sin θ = 3/5 the two give 24/25 and 6/5, and the second is not even possible.
Also called double angle formulas, sin 2 theta or cos 2 theta.
