Formula
Example
Evaluate:

2 sin 15o cos 15 o


Example
Find the exact value of sin 2x, if
cos x = 4/5 where x in quadrant I.

If sin a = 3/8 and a is an angle in


quadrant I, determine sin 2a.
Example
1. Given sin a = 0.8, determine cos
2a and tan 2a

2. Determine cos 2a if tan a =4/3


and that a is an angle in
quadrant III.
Example
Prove that

1  tan x
2

2
 cos 2 x
sec x
