Question #84027 Trigonometry Inverse Trigonometric Functions Inverse Trigonometric Properties 1 Answer Scott F. Mar 30, 2017 32x2−1 Explanation: Let θ=cos-1(4x) cos(2cos-1(4x)=cos(2θ) Use the double-angle formula cos(2α)=2cos2α−1 cos(2θ)=2cos2θ−1 θ is some angle the cosine of which is 4x, so cos2θ=(4x)2 2cos2θ−1=2(4x)2−1 2(4x)2−1=2(16x2)−1 2(16x2)−1=32x2−1 Answer link Related questions How do you use the properties of inverse trigonometric functions to evaluate tan(arcsin(0.31))?
