Answer:    [tex]-\frac{240}{289}[/tex]

=========================================================

Explanation:

Use the pythagorean trig identity [tex]\sin^2(\theta)+\cos^2(\theta) = 1[/tex] and plug in the fact that [tex]\cos(\theta) = \frac{8}{17}\\\\[/tex]

Isolating sine leads to [tex]\sin(\theta) = -\frac{15}{17}\\\\[/tex]. I'm skipping the steps here, but let me know if you need to see them.

The result is negative because we're in quadrant 4, when y < 0 so it's when sine is negative.

Therefore,

[tex]\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)\\\\\sin(2\theta) = 2*\left(-\frac{15}{17}\right)*\left(\frac{8}{17}\right)\\\\\sin(2\theta) = -\frac{240}{289}\\\\[/tex]
