Question 10 sin (tanβˆ’1x), where |x| < 1, is equal to: (a) π‘₯/√(1 βˆ’ π‘₯^2 ) (b) 1/√(1 βˆ’γ€– π‘₯γ€—^2 ) (c) 1/√(1 + π‘₯^2 ) (d) π‘₯/√(1 + π‘₯^2 ) Let a = tanβˆ’1 x tan a = x We need to find sin a. For this first we calculate sec a and cos a We know that sec2 a = 1 + tan2 a sec a = √(1+π‘‘π‘Žπ‘›2 a) sec a = √(1+π‘₯2) 1/cosβ‘π‘Ž = √(1+π‘₯2) 1/√(1 + π‘₯^2 ) = cosβ‘π‘Ž 𝒄𝒐𝒔⁑𝒂 = 𝟏/√(𝟏 + 𝒙^𝟐 ) We know that sin a = √("1 – cos2 a" ) sin a = √("1 –" (1/√(1 + π‘₯^2 ))^2 ) sin a = √("1 –" 1/(1 + π‘₯2)) sin a = √((1 + π‘₯2 βˆ’ 1)/(1 + π‘₯2)) = √((π‘₯2 )/(1 + π‘₯2)) = √(π‘₯^2 )/√(γ€–1 + π‘₯γ€—^2 ) = π‘₯/√(γ€–1 + π‘₯γ€—^2 ) sin a = π‘₯/√(γ€–1 + π‘₯γ€—^2 ) a = sinβˆ’1 (𝒙/√(γ€–πŸ + 𝒙〗^𝟐 )) Now solving sin(tanβˆ’1 x) = sin (a) = sin ("sinβˆ’1 " (𝒙/√(γ€–πŸ + 𝒙〗^𝟐 ))) = π‘₯/√(γ€–1 + π‘₯γ€—^2 ) So, the correct answer is (d)
