What is the sine double angle formula?

sin⁡(2θ)=2sin⁡(θ)cos⁡(θ)\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)

How many forms does cos⁡(2θ)\cos(2\theta) have?

Three forms: cos⁡2(θ)−sin⁡2(θ)\cos^2(\theta) - \sin^2(\theta), 2cos⁡2(θ)−12\cos^2(\theta) - 1, 1−2sin⁡2(θ)1 - 2\sin^2(\theta)

What is the tangent double angle formula?

tan⁡(2θ)=2tan⁡(θ)1−tan⁡2(θ)\tan(2\theta) = \frac{2\tan(\theta)}{1 - \tan^2(\theta)}

If sin⁡(θ)=3/5\sin(\theta)=3/5, what is sin⁡(2θ)\sin(2\theta)?
