Which of the following angles is greater ? `theta_(1) = sin^(-1).(4)/(5) + sin^(-1).(1)/(3) and theta_(2) = cos^(-1).(4)/(5) + cos^(-1).(1)/(3)` |
Answer» `theta_(1) + theta_(2) = sin^(-1).(4)/(5) + sin^(-1).(1)/(3) + cos^(-1).(4)/(5) + cos^(-1).(1)/(3)` `= (sin^(-1). (4)/(5) + cos^(-1).(4).(5)) + (sin^(-1).(1)/(3) + cos^(-1).(1)/(3))` `= (pi)/(2) + (pi)/(2) = pi` `theta_(2) = cos^(-1) [((4)/(5)) ((1)/(3)) - sqrt(1 - ((4)/(5))^(2)) sqrt(1 - ((1)/(3))^(2))]` `= cos^(-1) [(4)/(5).(1)/(3) - (3)/(5).(sqrt8)/(3)]` Now, `(4 - 6 sqrt2)/(15) lt 0` Therefore, `theta_(2)` is obtuse and hence `theta_(1)` is acute. `:. theta_(1) lt theta_(2)` |
