tan(sin^(-1)(x)) = x/(sqrt(1-x^2)tan(sin1(x))=x1x2

Explanation:

If sin^(-1)(x)=thetasin1(x)=θ
then
color(white)("XXX")XXX based on a unit circle (hypotenuse = 1=1)
color(white)("XXX")XXX the side opposite thetaθ will have a length of xx
color(white)("XXX")XXXand
color(white)("XXX")XXXthe adjacent side will have a length of sqrt(1-x^2)1x2 (based on Pythagorean Theorem)

tan(sin^(-1)(x)) = tan(theta) = ("opposite")/("adjacent") = x/(sqrt(1-x^2))tan(sin1(x))=tan(θ)=oppositeadjacent=x1x2
