Question 612706: Express tan(arcsin(x)) without trig functions.

arcsin(x) represents the angle whose sin is x. So tan(arcsin(x)) represents the tan ratio for that angle.
It will be easier to understand if you...- Draw a right triangle.
- Pick one of the acute angles (i.e not the right angle) to be the arcsin(x) angle. Let's call this angle A.
- Since the sin ratio is opposite/hypotenuse and since we want the sin ration to be x, label the side opposite to A as "x" and the hypotenuse as "1". It should be clear that the sin ration for A is x/1 = x.
Since we want the tan ratio for angle A and since the tan ratio is opposite/adjacent, we need the adjacent side to angle A. Let's label the adjacent side "y". - Use the Pythagorean theorem and solve for y:
- Write the tan ratio for A, using the square root expression for the adjacent side:
tan(arccos(x)) =
This may be an acceptable solution to your problem. But... - Our expression for tan(arccos(x)) has a square root in its denominator. Usually these denominators get rationalized:
tan(arccos(x)) =
