If tan θ = 4/3, calculate sin2 θ - cos2 θ.

A.

16/25

B.

24/25

C.

7/25

D.

9/25

Correct Answer: 7/25

Explanation

tan θ = opposite/adjacent = 4/3 Hyp2 = 42 + 32 Hyp = 5. sin θ = 4/5; cos θ = 3/5 sin2θ − cos2θ = 16/25 −9/25 = 7/25

tan θ = opposite/adjacent = 4/3 Hyp2 = 42 + 32 Hyp = 5. sin θ = 4/5; cos θ = 3/5 sin2θ − cos2θ = 16/25 −9/25 = 7/25
