Math Problem Statement

Solve the expression involving nested trigonometric functions: sin[arctan(2x / (1 - x^2)) + arctan(8x / (1 - 16x^2)) + arctan(3x / (1 - 9x^2))]

Solution

The expression in the image involves nested trigonometric functions. It appears as follows:

sin[tan1(2x1x2)+tan1(8x116x2)+tan1(3x19x2)]\sin \left[ \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{2x}{1 - x^2} \right) + \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{8x}{1 - 16x^2} \right) + \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{3x}{1 - 9x^2} \right) \right]

  3. What is the domain of this trigonometric function?
  4. How does the sine function behave with sum of angles?
  5. Can we use substitution to simplify this type of expression?

Tip: When dealing with sums of inverse tangent functions, you can use the identity: tan1a+tan1b=tan1(a+b1ab)ifab<1.\tan^{-1} a + \tan^{-1} b = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{a + b}{1 - ab} \right) \quad \text{if} \quad ab < 1.
