The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Let tan\(^{-1}\) x = \(\theta\) \(\Rightarrow x = tan \theta = \frac{sin \theta }{cos \theta }=\frac{sin \theta }{\sqrt{1-sin^{2} \theta }}\) \(\Rightarrow x =\sqrt{1-sin^{2} \theta }=sin \theta\) \(\Rightarrow x^{2}\left(1-sin^{2} \theta \right)=sin^{2} \theta\) \(\Rightarrow x^{2}=sin^{2} \theta \left(1+x^{2}\right)\) \(\Rightarrow sin^{2} \theta =\frac{x^{2}}{1+x^{2}} \Rightarrow sin \theta =\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}\) \(\Rightarrow \theta =sin^{-1} \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}\) \(\Rightarrow tan^{-1} x =sin^{-1} \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}\) Now, sin \(\left(tan^{-1}x\right) = sin\left( sin^{-1} \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}\right)\) \(\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}\)

Trigonometry is the branch of geometry that explains the connections between a right-angled triangle's angles and sides. It contains identities and formulae that are very useful for computations in maths and science. As was already mentioned, trigonometry also includes ratios and functions like sin, cos, and tan. The issue of what an inverse trigonometric function is may also be answered in the same way.Simply put, inverse trigonometric functions are the opposites of the fundamental trigonometric functions sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. The terms arcus functions, anti trigonometric functions, and cyclometric functions are also used to describe them. To find the angle for any trigonometric ratio, apply these inverse trigonometric functions. Engineering, physics, geometry, and navigation all heavily rely on the inverse trigonometry functions.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions

The inverse trigonometric functions are also called arcus functions or anti trigonometric functions. These are the inverse functions of the trigonometric functions with suitably restricted domains. Specifically, they are the inverse functions of the sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions, and are used to obtain an angle from any of the angle’s trigonometric ratios. Inverse trigonometric functions are widely used in engineering, navigation, physics, and geometry.

Domain and Range Of Inverse Functions

Considering the domain and range of the inverse functions, following formulas are important to be noted:

  • sin(sin−1x) = x, if -1 ≤ x ≤ 1
  • cos(cos−1x) = x, if -1 ≤ x ≤ 1
  • tan(tan−1x) = x, if -∞ ≤ x ≤∞
  • cot(cot−1x) = x, if -∞≤ x ≤∞
  • sec(sec−1x) = x, if -∞ ≤ x ≤ -1 or 1 ≤ x ≤ ∞
  • cosec(cosec−1x) = x, if -∞ ≤ x ≤ -1 or 1 ≤ x ≤ ∞

Also, the following formulas are defined for inverse trigonometric functions.

  • sin−1(sin y) = y, if -π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2
  • cos−1(cos y) =y, if 0 ≤ y ≤ π
  • tan−1(tan y) = y, if -π/2 <y< π/2
  • cot−1(cot y) = y if 0<y< π
  • sec−1(sec y) = y, if 0 ≤ y ≤ π, y ≠ π/2

cosec−1(cosec y) = y if -π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2, y ≠ 0
