Question 1083906: Match each of the trigonometric expressions below with the equivalent non-trigonometric function from the following list. Enter the appropriate letter (A, B, C, D, or E) in each blank.
A. tan(sin−1(x/5))
B. cos(sin−1(x/5))
C. (1/2)sin(2sin−1(x/5))
D. sin(tan−1(x/5))
E. cos(tan−1(x/5))




1. x/sqrt(25+x^2)

2. (sqrt(25-x^2))/5

3. x/sqrt(25-x^2)

4. 5/sqrt(25+x^2)

5. x/25*(sqrt(25-x^2))

I will solve only one problem here, problem B).

B.   is  .


   1.  Let  = .

       Then  is the angle in Q1 (if x >= 0)  or in QVI (if x < 0).

       In any case,   =  and  is positive.


   2.  Since   = , it implies that 

        =  =  =  = .


       So, it matches with #2).

Actually, each of the rest cases is solved in a similar way.
