Evaluate \(\sin \left(\cos ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}\right)\)
In doing several of the exercises in this section, you should have noticed a relationship between \(\cos u\) and \(\sin v,\) along with a relationship between \(\sin u\) and \(\cos v\). What are these relationships? Explain why they hold.
Suppose a 25 -foot ladder is leaning against a wall, making a \(63^{\circ}\) angle with the ground (as measured from a perpendicular line from the base of the ladder to the wall). How high up the wall is the end of the ladder?
Find an identity expressing \(\sin \left(\tan ^{-1} t\right)\) as a nice function of \(t\).
