You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let f (x) = (1/(x^2 sqrt(49 + x^2))
and g(t) = 7 tan (t) for 0 < t < pi/2
Find (f º g)(t) and simplify so that there are no radicals in the function. Write your answer in terms of sin(t) and cos(t).
(f º g)(t) = f[g(t)] = f[7*tan(t)]
---------
= 1/[(7tan(t))^2*sqrt(49 + (7*tan(t))^2)]
---------
= 1/[49tan^2(t)*sqrt(49 + 49tan^2(t)]
---------
= 1/[49tan^2(t)*7sqrt(1+tan^2(t)]
= 1/[49tan^2(t)*7sec(t)]
= 1/[343 *sin^2(t)/cos^3(t)]
