\(\textbf{11)}\) \(\sin{A}=\frac{4}{5},\) and \(0^{\circ}\lt A \lt90^{\circ},\) find \(\tan{2A}\)

Show Answer

The answer is \(-\frac{24}{7}\)

Show Work

\(\,\,\,\,\, \sin{A}=\frac{4}{5}=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \text{opposite}=4, \text{hypotenuse}=5\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \text{(adjacent)}^2+4^2=5^2\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \text{adjacent}=3\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{A}=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}=\frac{4}{3}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{2\tan{A}}{1-\tan^2{A}}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{2(4/3)}{1-(4/3)^2}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{8/3}{1-16/9}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{8/3}{9/9-16/9}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{8/3}{-7/9}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{8}{3}*\left(-\frac{9}{7}\right)\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=-\frac{24}{7}\)

\(\textbf{12)}\) \(\sin{A}=\frac{4}{5},\) and \(90^{\circ}\lt A \lt180^{\circ},\) find \(\tan{2A}\)

Show Answer

The answer is \(\frac{24}{7}\)

Show Work

\(\,\,\,\,\, \sin{A}=\frac{4}{5}=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \text{opposite}=4, \text{hypotenuse}=5\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \text{(adjacent)}^2+4^2=5^2\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \text{adjacent}=-3\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{A}=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}=-\frac{4}{3}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{2\tan{A}}{1-\tan^2{A}}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{2(-4/3)}{1-(-4/3)^2}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{-8/3}{1-16/9}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{-8/3}{9/9-16/9}\)

\(\,\,\,\,\, \tan{2A}=\frac{-8/3}{-7/9}\)
