the inverse bit in the bracket. when you let the bit in the bracket equal to a variable. let's say a = arcsin(3/4), rearrange that to get sina = 3/4. you make a triangle based off of that, and when you combine everything together it becomes tan 2a. that's just double angle = 2tan(a)/(1-tan^2(a)), and since it just requires you to know the value of tan(a) to reach the answer, you can deduce that from the triangle you drew out with sina = 3/4

ye thx but when u get the triangle for sina = 3/4 it can be either Q1 or Q2 triangle.
i assume since arcsin only outputs from -pi/2 to pi/2 that it has to be a Q1 triangle right

Also idk how to do these, like i can only prove it if i do like tan both sides but idk if that's legal or not

how do u know which triangle to construct?
you don't actually need to construct a triangle although that's probably the most obvious method. You can also note tan2theta = +-sqrt(sec^22theta-1). since tan 2theta is in this case negative since 2arcsin3/4 is in the 2nd quad, tan2theta = -sqrt(sec^2(2theta)-1) = -sqrt(1/cos^2(2theta) -1 )) = -sqrt(1/(1-2sin^2theta)^2 -1) = - sqrt63

That maths in focus screen shot has tainted this entire forum, that is illegal contraband by virtue of it being made by Margret Grove, it has been scientifically proven that people who use maths in focus are guaranteed to have trust in later life after being physically assaulted by the difficulty of the hsc

There's nothing wrong with math in focus... it's a great textbook for explaining the basics of a concept unlike Cambridge/NSM which overcomplicate things/go off on unnecessary random tangents
The issue with maths in focus is that its maths in focus
