Hey could someone please help with the following?
$\textup{For the domain }-1\leq x\leq1\textup{, show that }\cos(\sin^{-1}(x))=\sqrt{1-x^2}$ ,

and also:

For 14i., what exactly is the question asking me to do?

Let $$\alpha = \sin^{-1}x$$ and draw a right-angled triangled to show that $$\sin{\alpha}=\sqrt{1-x^2}$$ .

For 14 (i), again let $$\alpha = \sin^{-1}x$$ and use properties of a right angled trangled to find the value of the given expression. (it's the same answer, but instead with a completely geometrical approach i.e. no calculus differentation etc.)
