Question #67a2f Trigonometry Right Triangles Relating Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Narad T. May 13, 2017 The answer is =u/sqrt(4+u^2) Explanation: We need sin^2x+cos^2x=1 1/cos^2x=1+tan^2x Let, y=tan^-1(u/2) tany=u/2 1/cos^2y=1+u^2/4=(4+u^2)/4 cos^2y=4/(4+u^2) sin^2y=1-cos^2y=1-4/(4+u^2) =((4+u^2)-4)/(4+u^2)=u^2/(4+u^2) siny=u/sqrt(4+u^2) Here, we are looking at sin(tan^-1(u/2))=siny=u/sqrt(4+u^2) Answer link Related questions What does it mean to find the sign of a trigonometric function and how do you find it?
