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?
