Math Problem Statement

tan(arcsin(x))

Solution

To evaluate tan(arcsin(x))\tan(\arcsin(x)), we start by setting θ=arcsin(x)\theta = \arcsin(x). This tells us that:

sin(θ)=x\sin(\theta) = x

Since the range of arcsin(x)\arcsin(x) is π2θπ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}, θ\theta is in the first or fourth quadrant. By definition of the sine function, we have:

oppositehypotenuse=x1\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{x}{1}

To find tan(θ)\tan(\theta), we need the ratio oppositeadjacent\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}. Using the Pythagorean identity for a right triangle:

adjacent=hypotenuse2opposite2=1x2\text{adjacent} = \sqrt{\text{hypotenuse}^2 - \text{opposite}^2} = \sqrt{1 - x^2}

Thus, tan(θ)\tan(\theta) becomes:

tan(θ)=oppositeadjacent=x1x2\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}

Therefore:

tan(arcsin(x))=x1x2\tan(\arcsin(x)) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}

Would you like me to expand on this or apply it to a specific value?
