Write tan sin1 x x 1 as an algebraic expression in terms of
Write tan (sin-1 x), |x| < 1, as an algebraic expression in terms of x. Explain your answer.
Solution
tan(sin^-1(x) ) , |x| <1
Let y = sin^-1(x)
siny = x
tany = x/sqrt(1- x^2)
y = tan^-1[x/sqrt(1- x^2)]
So, tan(sin^-1(x) ) = tantan^-1[x/sqrt(1- x^2)]
So, tan(sin^-1(x) ) = = x/sqrt( 1- x^2)
