Question

Find the value of `cos(sin^-1 (4/5) - tan^-1 (3/4))`

Sum

Solution

`cos(sin^-1 (4/5) - tan^-1 (3/4))`

a = `sin^-1 (4/5)`

sin a = `4/5 > 0`   .........(Lies in I and II quadrant only)

cos a = `+-  3/5`

b = `tan^-1 (3/4)`

tan b = `3/4`

sin b = `3/5`

`cos(sin^-1 (4/5) - tan^-1 (3/4))`

= `(3/5)(4/5) + (4/5)(3/5)`

∵ cos(a – b) = cosa cosb + sina sinb

= `12/25 + 12/25`

= `24/25`
