Pre Cal/Calculus/Trig Question

OpenStudy (taism8):

\[\cos(\sin ^{-1}(2x))\]

OpenStudy (taism8):

This is another problem i need help with \[ \sec(Arctan(4x))\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hey :) Welcome to OpenStudy!\[\large\rm \cos\left[\color{orangered}{\sin ^{-1}(2x)}\right]\]It might be helpful to label this inner part as something, an angle,\[\large\rm \color{orangered}{\sin^{-1}(2x)=\theta}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

We can relate this to the sine function, taking inverse, ya?\[\large\rm \sin \theta=2x\]

Let's draw a triangle to illustrate this relationship.

Hmm so we recall that sine is defined as `opposite` by `hypotenuse`, ya?|dw:1471716407443:dw|
