What Is The Exact Solution Of Cos 2x Thank You class=

Answer :

Answer:

119/169

Explanation:

We use the following trig identity

[tex]\cos2x=1-2\sin^2(x)[/tex]

Now in our case, we know that

[tex]\sin x=-\frac{5}{13}[/tex]

therefore, our formula gives

[tex]\cos2x=1-2*(\frac{5}{13})^2[/tex]

which simplifies to give

[tex]\boxed{\cos2x=\frac{119}{169}.}[/tex]
