Let θ=tan−1x
By definition, tanθ=x
This can be written as:
tanθ=1x
Construct a right triangle where:
Opposite side =x
Adjacent side =1
This gives tanθ=adjacentopposite=1x=x
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Hypotenuse=x2+12
Hypotenuse=x2+1
For the sine ratio:
sinθ=hypotenuseopposite
sinθ=1+x2x
Since θ=tan−1x:
sin(tan−1x)=1+x2x
