If cosine and tangent are negative, then sine must be positive, since tan = sin/cos
This happens in quadrant 2, with sin = tan * cos
sin(2T) = 2 sin T cos T where T is the angle theta

Okay Thank you! So I'm looking for sin(2θ) and I'm given tan(θ)=-4, cos(θ)<0. Can you tell me the steps to solve this?12/13/18
