Trigonometric Functions and Identities

The video tutorial explains how to find the exact value of the expression sine of two times the inverse tangent of five twelfths. It begins by defining the inverse tangent and its relation to angle theta. The tutorial then constructs a reference triangle to determine the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem. Finally, it evaluates sine 2 theta using the double angle identity, resulting in the exact value of 120/169.

What is the range of the angle theta when using the inverse tangent function?

• -180 to 180 degrees

• 0 to 360 degrees

• -90 to 90 degrees

• 0 to 180 degrees

What is the double angle identity for sine?

• sin(2a) = 2cos(a)sin(a)

• sin(2a) = sin^2(a) - cos^2(a)

• sin(2a) = sin(a) + cos(a)

• sin(2a) = 2sin(a)cos(a)
