**Problem Statement:**
Find \(\sin 2x\), \(\cos 2x\), and \(\tan 2x\) if \(\tan x = \frac{15}{8}\) and \(x\) terminates in quadrant I.

**Solution Steps:**

1. **Given Information:**
   - \(\tan x = \frac{15}{8}\)
   - \(x\) is in quadrant I.

2. **Trigonometric Identities:**
   - \(\sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x\)
   - \(\cos 2x = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x\)
   - \(\tan 2x = \frac{2 \tan x}{1 - \tan^2 x}\)

3. **Determine \(\sin x\) and \(\cos x\):**
   - Use \(\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\).
   - From the Pythagorean identity: \(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\).
   - Calculate \(\sin x\) and \(\cos x\) using the given \(\tan x\).

4. **Calculate \(\sin 2x\), \(\cos 2x\), \(\tan 2x\):**
   - Substitute \(\sin x\) and \(\cos x\) into the identities for double angles.

5. **Enter the Values:**
   - Input boxes for \(\sin 2x\), \(\cos 2x\), and \(\tan 2x\) are provided for users to check their answers.

**Note:**
- Ensure calculations are consistent with the fact that \(x\) is in quadrant I.
