Answer

$ \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}$

Work Step by Step

Let $\tan ^ {–1} x = \theta$ then, $\tan \theta = x$ and $\cot \theta = \frac{1}{x}$ To evaluate $\sin (\tan ^ {–1} x) = \sin \theta$ We know that, $\csc \theta = \sqrt{1 + \cot ^2 \theta}$ also $\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\csc \theta} $ Using above relations we get $\csc \theta = \sqrt{1+\frac{1}{x^2}}$ $=> \csc \theta = \sqrt{\frac{1 + x^2}{x^2}}$ $=> \sin \theta = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}$
