csc x = 9

 

sin x = 19

 

*edit* If the tangent is negative, and the sin is positive, then the cosine must be negative.

cos x = 1(19)2=459

 

tan x = sinxcosx=19÷459=520

 

So..using the double-angle formulas:

 

sin (2x) = 2 sin x cos x = 219459=8581

 

cos (2x) = 1 - 2 sin2 x = 12(19)2=7981

 

tan (2x) = 2tanx1tan2x=25201(520)2=510395400=8579

Actually the tangent one is wrong.. I did it if tan x > 0 blush

 

....Okay I think I fixed it now

Yeah....you did fix it, hectictar.......check your answer for tan(2x)  by  comparing it with

sin(2x) / cos(2x)  .......

 

 

cool cool cool
