Find the value of tan(cos^(-1)(3/x))tan(cos−1(3x))? Trigonometry Right Triangles Relating Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Shwetank Mauria Oct 24, 2017 tan(cos^(-1)(3/x))=tant=1/3sqrt(x^2-9)tan(cos−1(3x))=tant=13√x2−9 Explanation: Let cos^(-1)(3/x)=tcos−1(3x)=t then cost=3/xcost=3x and therefore sect=x/3sect=x3 and sec^2x=x^2/9sec2x=x29 and tan^2t=x^2/9-1=(x^2-9)/9tan2t=x29−1=x2−99 and tant=1/3sqrt(x^2-9)tant=13√x2−9 hence tan(cos^(-1)(3/x))=tant=1/3sqrt(x^2-9)tan(cos−1(3x))=tant=13√x2−9 Answer link Related questions What does it mean to find the sign of a trigonometric function and how do you find it?
