tanx = 5/12
r^2 = x^2 + y^2
= 12^2 + 5^2
r = 13
tanx >0 and sinx<0, so x must be in quad. III and
and sinx = -5/13 , cosx = -12/13
sin 2x = 2sinxcosx = 2(-5/13)(-12/13)
= 120/169
cos 2x = cos^2 x - sin^2 x
= 144/169-25/169
=119/169
do the others the same way, or the way
drwls showed you in the other post.

tan x = 13 cot x
Reiny
tan x = 13 cot x
tan x = 13/tan x
tan^2 x = 13
tan x = ±√13
x = 74.5º,105.5º, 254.5º, 285.5º
tan x = 13/tan x
tan^2 x = 13
tan x = ±√13
x = 74.5º,105.5º, 254.5º, 285.5º
