How do you solve tan(sin^-1 x/2)? (show steps)

First: Equations are solved. \tan\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x2\right) is an expression, and expressions can be simplified.

Now suppose y=\sin^{-1}\dfrac x2. Imagine a right triangle with one angle (not the one opposite the hypotenuse, of course) labeled y. This relation suggests that

\sin y=\dfrac x2

and under the hood, we're assuming that -\dfrac\pi2, because otherwise we wouldn't be able to properly alternate from x to y so seamlessly.

Now,

\tan\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x2\right)=\tan y

so the given expression is the same as the tangent of that same angle y.

If \sin y=\dfrac x2, then in the triangle, the leg opposite the angle y occurs with the length of the hypotenuse in a ratio of x to 2. By the Pythagorean theorem, the remaining side - call it z - satisifies

z^2+x^2=2^2\implies z=\sqrt{4-x^2}

and we have

\tan y=\dfrac xz=\dfrac x{\sqrt{4-x^2}}

Answer:

the third one (bottom left)

Step-by-step explanation:

all the others have at least one x value with multiple possible y values.

but for a function, there must be exactly 1 y value for each defined x value.

4d + 28 = 88 what does d equal
Korolek [52]

It should be 15. 88 minus 28 is 60. Then 60 divided by 4 is 15.

Find the equivalent expression using the same basis (34•84)^3
vichka [17]

Answer:

(2)^9•(3)^3•(7)^3•(17)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

(34•84)^3

=(34)^3•(84)^3

=(2•17)^3•(2•2•3•7)^3

=(2)^3•(17)^3•(2)^3•(2)^3•(3)^3•(7)^3

=(2)^(3+3+3)•(17)^3•(3)^3•(7)^3

=(2)^9•(3)^3•(7)^3•(17)^3
