Answer

$sin2x=\frac{24}{25}$ $cos2x=\frac{7}{25}$ $tan2x=\frac{24}{7}$

Work Step by Step

Given $sin(x)=-\frac{3}{5}$ and $x$ in Quadrant III, we have $cos(x)=-\frac{4}{5}$ and $tan(x)=\frac{3}{4}$. $sin2x=2sin(x)cos(x)=2\times(-\frac{3}{5})\times(-\frac{4}{5})=\frac{24}{25}$ $cos2x=2)cos^2(x)-1=2\times(-\frac{4}{5})^2-1=\frac{7}{25}$ $tan(2x)=\frac{sin2x}{cos2x}=\frac{24/25}{7/25}=\frac{24}{7}$ or $tan(2x)=\frac{2tan(x)}{1-tan^2x}=\frac{2\times3/4}{1-9/16}=\frac{24}{7}$
