Given:

[tex]\sin(\tan^{-1}x)[/tex]

To write:

The trigonometric function in terms of x.

Explanation:

Let us take,

[tex]y=\sin(\tan^{-1}x).............(1)[/tex]

Let us assume that,

[tex]tan^{-1}x=p..............(2)[/tex]

So, the function becomes

[tex]y=\sin p............(3)[/tex]

From the equation (2),

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\tan p \\ i.e)\tan p=\frac{x}{1}=\frac{Oppsite}{Adjacent} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]\begin{gathered} Hyp^2=Opp^2+Adj^2 \\ Hyp^2=x^2+1^2 \\ Hyp=\sqrt{x^2+1} \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, equation 3 becomes,

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\sin p \\ =\frac{Opp}{Hyp} \\ y=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the composed trigonometric function in terms of x is,

[tex]\sin(\tan^{-1}x)=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}[/tex]

Final answer:

The composed trigonometric function in terms of x is,

[tex]\sin(\tan^{-1}x)=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}[/tex]
