Answer

(a)$sin^{-1}x=tan^{-1} \frac{x}{\sqrt {1-x^2}}$, $\vert{x}\vert<1$ (b)$cos^{-1}x=\frac{\pi}{2}-tan^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt {1-x^2}}$,$\vert{x}\vert<1$

Work Step by Step

(a)Let $tan^{-1} \frac{x}{\sqrt {1-x^2}}=\theta$ ........................... eq (1) where $\vert{x}\vert<1$ $ \frac{x}{\sqrt {1-x^2}}=tan\theta$ Squaring $ (\frac{x}{\sqrt {1-x^2}})^2=(tan\theta)^2$ $\frac{x^2}{( \sqrt {1-x^2})^2}=tan^2\theta$ $\frac{x^2}{1-x^2}=tan^2\theta$ $\frac{x^2}{1-x^2}+1=1+tan^2\theta$ $\frac{1}{1-x^2}=sec^2\theta$ $\frac{1}{1-x^2}=\frac{1}{cos^2\theta}$ $cos^2\theta=1-x^2$ $x^2=1-cos^2\theta$ $x^2=sin^2\theta$ Taking positive square root $x=sin\theta$ $sin\theta=x$ $\theta=sin^{-1}x$ ..................... eq (2) From equation (1) and equation (2) $sin^{-1}x=tan^{-1} \frac{x}{\sqrt {1-x^2}}$, $\vert{x}\vert<1$ (b) Let $sin^{-1}x=\alpha$ .......................... eq (3) $x=sin\alpha$ $x=cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-\alpha)$ $cos^{-1}x=\frac{\pi}{2}-\alpha$ ........................ eq (4) From equation (3) and equation (4) $cos^{-1}x=\frac{\pi}{2}- sin^{-1}x $ ........................ eq (5) From the the equation proved in the result (a) $sin^{-1}x=tan^{-1} \frac{x}{\sqrt {1-x^2}}$, $\vert{x}\vert<1$ ..................... eq (6) From equation (5) and equation (6) $cos^{-1}x=\frac{\pi}{2}-tan^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt {1-x^2}}$,$\vert{x}\vert<1$
