sin(2tan1u)=2uu2+1 is the final answer.

Steps

Step 1 :We are given the expression sin(2tan1u) and we are asked to rewrite it as an algebraic expression in terms of u.

Step 2 :We know that sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x). We can use this identity to rewrite the expression.

Step 3 :We also know that tan(x)=sin(x)cos(x), so we can express sin(x) and cos(x) in terms of u using the right triangle definition of sine and cosine.

Step 4 :In a right triangle, if tan(x)=u, then we can think of u as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. We can then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse, which will allow us to find sin(x) and cos(x).

Step 5 :Let's denote the opposite side as u, the adjacent side as 1, and the hypotenuse as u2+1.

Step 6 :Then, sin(x)=uu2+1 and cos(x)=1u2+1.

Step 7 :Substituting these values into the identity sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x), we get sin(2x)=2uu2+1.

Step 8 :Finally, substituting x=tan1(u) back into the equation, we get sin(2tan1u)=2uu2+1.

Step 9 :sin(2tan1u)=2uu2+1 is the final answer.
