Question

If α=cos1(35)\alpha = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {{3 \over 5}} \right), β=tan1(13)\beta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{1 \over 3}} \right) where 0<α,β<π20 < \alpha ,\beta < {\pi \over 2} , then α\alpha - β\beta is equal to :

Solution

Here cosα=35\cos \alpha = {3 \over 5} \therefore tanα=43\tan \alpha = {4 \over 3} and tanβ=13\tan \beta = {1 \over 3} We know, tan(αβ)=tanαtanβ1+tanα.tanβ\tan \left( {\alpha - \beta } \right) = {{\tan \alpha - \tan \beta } \over {1 + \tan \alpha .\tan \beta }} = 43131+43.13{{{4 \over 3} - {1 \over 3}} \over {1 + {4 \over 3}.{1 \over 3}}} = 913{9 \over {13}} \therefore (αβ)\left( {\alpha - \beta } \right) = tan1(913){\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{9 \over {13}}} \right) = sin1(9510){\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{9 \over {5\sqrt {10} }}} \right)
