Find the exact value of the expression tan sin1 3 4 cos1 1
Find the exact value of the expression. tan ( sin^1 3/ 4 cos^1 1/ 5 show all work
Solution
tan ( sin^1 3/ 4 cos^1 1/ 5)
let x= sin^-1(3/4)
sinx = 3/4 ----> tanx = 3/sqrt(7)
let y = cos^-1(1/5)
cosy = 1/5
tany = sqrt(24)
tan ( sin^1 3/ 4 cos^1 1/ 5) = tan(x+y)
= (tanx +tany)/( 1-tanx*tany)
=( 3/sqrt17 +sqrt24)/( 1-3sqrt(24/17) )
= (3+ sqrt(408)/[sqrt(17) -3sqrt(24)]
= (3 +sqrt(408)/[ sqrt(17) - 3sqrt(24) ]
