Question
Evaluate the following:
If A = 30°, verify that:
$\sin2\text{A}=\frac{2\tan\text{A}}{1+\tan^2\text{A}}$

Answer

$\text{A}=30^\circ$
$\Rightarrow2\text{A}=2\times30^\circ=60^\circ$
$\sin2\text{A}=\sin60^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\frac{2\tan\text{A}}{1+\tan^2\text{A}}=\frac{2\tan30^\circ}{1+\tan^230^\circ}$
$=\frac{2\times\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\Big)}{1+\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\Big)^2}=\frac{\Big(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\Big)}{1+\frac13}$
$=\frac{\Big(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\Big)}{\frac43}=\Big(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\Big)\times\frac34=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\therefore\ \sin2\text{A}=\frac{2\tan\text{A}}{1+\tan^2\text{A}}$
