Simplify sin{2tan⁻¹(√(1−x)/√(1+x))}

Problem

Simplify: \( \sin\left(2\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt{1+x}}\right)\right) \)

Solution (Substitution Method)

Let:

\[ \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt{1+x}}\right) \]

Then,

\[ \tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt{1+x}} \]

Using identity:

\[ \sin 2\theta = \frac{2\tan \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta} \]

Compute:

\[ \tan^2 \theta = \frac{1-x}{1+x} \]

\[ 1 + \tan^2 \theta = \frac{1+x + 1-x}{1+x} = \frac{2}{1+x} \]

Thus,

\[ \sin 2\theta = \frac{2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt{1+x}}}{\frac{2}{1+x}} \]

\[ = \frac{2\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt{1+x}} \cdot \frac{1+x}{2} \]

\[ = \sqrt{1-x}\sqrt{1+x} \]

\[ = \sqrt{1 – x^2} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\sqrt{1 – x^2}} \]
