For $|x|<1, \sin (\tan^{-1}x)$ equal to
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → $\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$
Let $\theta=\tan^{-1}(x)$.
$\tan\theta=\frac{x}{1}$ gives a right triangle with:
Opposite $=x$, Adjacent $=1$, Hypotenuse $=\sqrt{1+x^{2}}$.
Hence,
$\sin\theta=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}$
$\sin(\tan^{-1}x)=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}$
