sin(sin-1\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) + cos-1x) = sin\(\frac { π }{ 2 }\)
⇒ sin-1\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) + cos-1x = sin\(\frac { π }{ 2 }\)
or (sin-1\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) + cos-1\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\)) + (- cos-1\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\)x) = \(\frac { π }{ 2 }\)
or \(\frac { π }{ 2 }\) – cos-1\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) + cos-1x = \(\frac { π }{ 2 }\)
or cos-1\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) – cos-1x = \(\frac { π }{ 2 }\)
or cos-1x = cos-1\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\)
⇒ x = \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\)
