sin 2 x = sin ( 2 x )
sin 2 x = 2 sin x cos x
sin x = 2 cos x
tan x = 2
cot x = tan x 1 = 2 1
sec 2 x = tan 2 x + 1 = 2 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
csc 2 x = cot 2 x + 1 = ( 2 1 ) 2 + 1 = 4 1 + 1 = 4 1 + 4 = 4 5
sec x = 5 while csc x = 2 5
cos x = 5 1 while sin x = 5 2
sin 2 x = 2 sin x cos x = 5 2 × 2 = 5 4
Careful there, in your first 3rd step, you divided by sides by (sin x). Can you justify why (sin x) can divided?

If (sin x)=0, sin 2x won't be positive as sin x is a factor of sin 2x

Right, it's important to show that (sin x = 0) is not a solution, otherwise, we're dividing by 0.

We know that answer is s i n 2 x . So
s i n 2 x = s i n 2 x
Hence 2 s i n x c o s x = s i n 2 x
Hence t a n x = 2
Now s e c 2 x − t a n 2 x = 1
s e c 2 x = 5
c o s 2 x = 1 / 5
S i n 2 x = 4 / 5 [ A n s ]
