Math Problem Statement

Rewrite the expression \tan\left(\sin^{-1}\left(x\right)\right) as an algebraic expression in x

Solution

To rewrite tan(sin1(x))\tan\left(\sin^{-1}\left(x\right)\right) as an algebraic expression in xx, follow these steps:

Step 1: Understand the components

The expression involves:

  • sin1(x)\sin^{-1}(x), which is the inverse sine function. Let θ=sin1(x)\theta = \sin^{-1}(x), so sin(θ)=x\sin(\theta) = x.
  • The goal is to find tan(θ)\tan(\theta) in terms of xx.

Step 2: Use the Pythagorean identity

From the definition of the sine function: sin(θ)=x    oppositehypotenuse=x.\sin(\theta) = x \implies \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = x. Let the hypotenuse be 1 and the opposite side be xx. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the adjacent side is: 1x2.\sqrt{1 - x^2}.

Step 3: Express tan(θ)\tan(\theta)

The tangent function is defined as: tan(θ)=oppositeadjacent.\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}. Substitute the values: tan(θ)=x1x2.\tan(\theta) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}.

Final Answer:

tan(sin1(x))=x1x2.\tan\left(\sin^{-1}(x)\right) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}.
