Answer

The required value of the sin 2x is 2 sin x cos x.

Work Step by Step

In order to find the value of sin 2x, the double angle formula is used that is as shown below: $Sin\left( \alpha +\beta \right)=\sin \alpha \,\cos \beta +\cos \alpha +\,\sin \beta $ Now, consider $\alpha $ and $\beta $ as x in sin (x+x); then the formula becomes: $\begin{align} & Sin\left( x+x \right)=\sin x\,\cos x+\cos x\,\sin x \\ & sin\,2x=2\,\sin x\,\cos x \end{align}$ Hence, the required value of the sin 2x is 2 sin x cos x.
