If sin\(x\) = \(\frac{2}{5}\), then find the value of tan2\(x\)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
tan2x = \(\frac{2tan\;x}{1-tan^2 x}\)
& tan x = \(\frac{sin\;x}{cos\;x}\)
Now, sinx = \(\frac{2}{5}\),
cosx = \(\sqrt {1\;-\;sin^2 }\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{21}}{5}\)
tanx = \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{21}}\)
tan2x = \(\frac{2tanx}{1 - tan^2x}\) = \(\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{17}\)
