Prove that

Question:

 Prove that sin-1 8/17 + sin-1 3/5 = sin-1 77/85

Solution:

Taking the L.H.S,

= sin-1 8/17 + sin-1 3/5

$=\tan ^{-1} \frac{\frac{8}{15}+\frac{3}{4}}{1-\frac{8}{15} \times \frac{3}{4}}$

$=\tan ^{-1} \frac{\frac{32+45}{60}}{\frac{60-24}{60}}$

$=\tan ^{-1} 8 / 15+\tan ^{-1} 3 / 4$

$=\tan ^{-1} \frac{77}{36}$

$=\sin ^{-1} \frac{77}{\sqrt{5929+1296}}$

$=\sin ^{-1} \frac{77}{85}$

$=$ R.H.S.

– Hence proved
