If tan \(\theta\) = \(\frac{5}{4}\) find sin2\(\theta\) - cos2\(\theta\)
A
\(\frac{9}{41}\)
B
\(\frac{5}{4}\)
C
1
D
\(\frac{9}{1}\)
correct option: a
(tan \(\theta\) = \(\frac{opp}{adj}\))

|AB|2 = 52 + 42 \(\to\) |AB|2 = 41

\(\to\) AB = \(\sqrt{41}\) sin2\(\theta\) - cos2\(\theta\)

\(\to\) \(\frac{5^2}{\sqrt{41}}\) - (\(\frac{4}{\sqrt{41}}^2\)) = \(\frac{25}{41}\) - \(\frac{16}{41}\)

= (\(\frac{9}{41}\))
