tan(sin-1(x)) First let's find sin-1(x). sin-1(x) means "The ANGLE whose SINE is x". So let's draw a right triangle with an ANGLE whose SINE is x. First we observe thatSecond, we observe that x = . Se we draw a right triangle with x for the OPPOSITE side and 1 for the HYPOTENUSE, the Pythagorean theorem tells us that the ADJACENT side in √1-x² Here's a right triangle which contains an angle whose sine is or x. Let's go back to the original problem: tan(sin-1(x)) We have sin-1x as an angle in the right triangle above, so all we need is the TANGENT of the angle marked sin-1x. Since , tan(sin-1(x)) = We have now verified that. Edwin
