Answer

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

Work Step by Step

Given expression is- $\tan(\sin^{-1}x)$ Assuming $\sin^{-1} x$ = $u$ , we get- $\sin u$ = $x$, [$-\frac{\pi}{2}\leq u\leq \frac{\pi}{2}$] From First Pythagorean identity- $\cos u$ = + $\sqrt {1 - x^{2} }$ We know that, $\tan u$ = $\frac{\sin u}{\cos u}$ i.e. $\tan u$ = $\frac{x}{\sqrt {1 - x^{2} }}$ i.e. $\tan(\sin^{-1}x)$ = $\frac{x}{\sqrt {1 - x^{2} }}$
