Short Answer

If x=2tanθ, express sin2θ as a function of x.

On expressing sin2θ as a function of x is sin2θ=4x4+x2.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given information.

Consider the given question,

x=2tanθ

From the double-angle formula,

sin2θ=2sinθcosθ

From inverse trigonometry,

θ=tan-1x2=sin-1x4+x2=cos-124+x2

Step 2. Use inverse trigonometry and solve the equation.

Consider the given question,

x=2tanθ

From inverse trigonometry,

θ=tan-1x2

Then,

θ=tan-1x2sin2θ=sin2tan-1x2sin2θ=2sintan-1x2costan-1x2sin2θ=2sinsin-1x4+x2coscos-124+x2sin2θ=4x4+x2
