Steps

Step 1 :Given that cos(A)=2129 and A is in quadrant 3

Step 2 :We know that the cosine of an angle in the third quadrant is negative

Step 3 :We can use the formula for cos(2A), which is 2cos2(A)1

Step 4 :Substitute the given value of cos(A) into this formula to find cos(2A)

Step 5 :cos(2A)=2(2129)21

Step 6 :Simplify to get cos(2A)=0.04875148632580273

Step 7 :Final Answer: 0.04875148632580273
