I am working on my scholarship exam. I worked through almost final step but got my answer wrong. Could you please have a look?
If $\cos (\theta) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}}$ and $\sin (\theta) = -\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}}$ with $0\leq\theta<2\pi$, it follows that $2\theta = ..... \pi$
What I have got is below:
$\sin(2\theta)=2\sin\theta\cos\theta$
Then, $\sin(2\theta)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
Hence, $2\theta = \frac{5\pi}{4}$ or $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ (quadrant 3 or 4)
$\theta=\frac{5\pi}{8}$ or $\frac{7\pi}{8}$
Since $\cos\theta$ is positive and $\sin\theta$ is negative, $\theta$ should be in quadrant 4 but my $\theta$'s are not. So I cannot use my $2\theta$ as a final answer.
However, the answer key provided is $\theta=\frac{15\pi}{4}$, Why do you think that is the case? How did they get to this answer? Please help.
