cos-1x + sin-1x = pi/2   ............1                   (identity)

 

cos(2cos-1x+sin-1x) = cos[(cos-1x+sin-1x) + cos-1x]

=cos[pi/2 + cos-1x]                             (by using eq 1)

 

(    we know , cos[pi/2+A] = -sinA   )

 

=-sin[cos-1x]

=-sin[sin-1(1-x2)1/2]                              (cos-1x = sin-1(1-x2)1/2  )

=-(1-x2)1/2 

at x = 1/5

=-(2root6)/5

It’s just a play of some equations :  

cos-1x + sin-1x = pi/2   ............1                   (identity)

 

cos(2cos-1x+sin-1x) = cos[(cos-1x+sin-1x) + cos-1x]

=cos[pi/2 + cos-1x]                             (by using eq 1)

 

(    we know , cos[pi/2+A] = -sinA   )

 

=-sin[cos-1x]

=-sin[sin-1(1-x2)1/2]                              (cos-1x = sin-1(1-x2)1/2  )

=-(1-x2)1/2 

at x = 1/5

=-(2root6)/5

Dear student,
Please find the attached answer to your problem.
 
 cos[2cos-1x + sin-1x] = cos[(cos-1x + sin-1x) + cos-1x] = cos[π/2 + cos-1x]
= – sin[cos-1x] = – (1 – x2)½           (Identity)
 = – (1 – [1/5]2)½   = 2√6/5
 
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards,
Kushagra
