  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
+close
  1. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  2. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  3. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

Note that cos^2(x)=1-sin^2(x)

Also sin(sin^-1(x))=x

cause this is inverse trig right

You just need to simplify the expression no?

Do you mean the domain ?

#

Well cos(sin-1(2x))=sqrt(cos^2(sin-1(2x))=sqrt(1-sin^2(sin-1(2x))

if you have trig functions of trig functions like f(g^-1(x)) one thing you can do is draw a triangle where the ratio is like g = x/1
for example
here theta is inverse sine of 2x
then cos is just the adjacent side

#

i prefer this method

Yup this is easier
