Find the value of sin-1⁡(513)+cos-1⁡(35)

Options

A

sin⁻¹(63/65)

B

sin-⁻¹1

C

0

D

sin⁻¹(64/65)

Correct Answer :

sin⁻¹(63/65)

Solution :

The correct option is sin⁻¹(63/65).

To find the value of the expression sin-1513+cos-135, we can express both inverse trigonometric terms in terms of sine or cosine to apply a standard addition formula. Let us convert cos-135 into a sine inverse term.

Let A=sin-1513 and B=cos-135.
From these definitions, we have:
sin(A)=513
cos(B)=35

Since A and B correspond to acute angles in right-angled triangles, we can find the corresponding cosine and sine values using the Pythagorean identity sin2(θ)+cos2(θ)=1:
cos(A)=1-sin2(A)=1-5132=1-25169=144169=1213
sin(B)=1-cos2(B)=1-352=1-925=1625=45

Now we want to find the value of A+B. We can calculate sin(A+B) using the sine addition formula:
sin(A+B)=sin(A)cos(B)+cos(A)sin(B)

Substitute the values we calculated:
sin(A+B)=513·35+1213·45
sin(A+B)=1565+4865
sin(A+B)=6365

Taking the inverse sine of both sides, we get:
A+B=sin-16365

Therefore, the value of the given expression is:
sin-1513+cos-135=sin-16365
