Formula Used:

Firstly calculate the angle $2\theta$ for given $\theta$ and then calculate $f\left(2\theta \right)$ .

Calculation:

Since, $\theta =\frac{7\pi }{6}$ . So, $2\theta =\frac{7\pi }{3}$ .

Substitute the value of $2\theta$ in $f\left(2\theta \right)=\sin \left(2\theta \right)$

  $f\left(\frac{7\pi }{3}\right)=\sin \frac{7\pi }{3}$ ,

  $\cos \left(\frac{7\pi }{6}\right)=-\cos \frac{\pi }{6}$

Substitute $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ for $\cos \frac{\pi }{6}$ in the above equation.

  $\cos \left(\frac{7\pi }{6}\right)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Substitute $-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ for $\cos \left(\frac{7\pi }{6}\right)$ .
