To find the values of \( \sin(2\theta) \) and \( \cos(2\theta) \), we can use the double angle identities and the given information: 1. Given \( \cos \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \) and \( \frac{\pi}{2} < \theta < \pi \), we can determine \( \sin \theta \) using the Pythagorean identity: \[ \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \] Substituting for \( \cos \theta \): \[ \sin^2 \theta + \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\right)^2 = 1 \] \[ \sin^2 \theta + \frac{1}{3} = 1 \] \[ \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \] Thus, \( \sin \theta = \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} \) or \( \sin \theta = -\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} \). Since \( \theta \) is in the second quadrant, we take the positive solution: \( \sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3} \). 2. Now we can find \( \sin(2\theta) \) and \( \cos(2\theta) \): - Using the identity \( \sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta \): \[ \sin(2\theta) = 2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3} \cdot \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\right) = -\frac{2\sqrt{18}}{9} = -\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{9} = -\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}. \] For (a): \( \sin(2 \theta) = -\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3} \). - Next, using the identity \( \cos(2\theta) = \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta \): \[ \cos(2\theta) = \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{1}{3}. \] For (b): \( \cos(2 \theta) = -\frac{1}{3} \). In summary: (a) \( \sin(2 \theta) = -\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3} \) (b) \( \cos(2 \theta) = -\frac{1}{3} \)
