Inverse circular functions,Principal values of sin1x,cos1x,tan1x.
tan1x+tan1y=tan1x+y1xy, xy<1
π+tan1x+y1xy, xy>1.

Solution

(a) If cos1(5/3)=θ,0<θ<π/2 then
cosθ=5/3
and sinθ=1cos2θ=15/9
=4/9=2/3
tan[12cos153]=tanθ2
=1cosθsinθ=[1(5/3)](2/3)=352
(b) 2tan1(15)=tan12.(1/5)1(1/5)2=tan1512
and π/4=tan11, we have
tan[2tan1(1/5)π/4]
=tan[tan1(5/12)tan11]
=tantan1(5/12)11+(5/12).1
=tantan1(717)=717
