$\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5} \cos x+\frac{4}{5} \sin x\right)=$
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
$\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5} \cos x+\frac{4}{5} \sin x\right)$ .....(1)
we know that $\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2+\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2=1$
let $\frac{3}{5}=\cos \theta \quad \frac{4}{5}=\sin \theta$
so $\tan \theta=4 / 3 \Rightarrow \theta=\tan ^{-1}(4 / 3)$ .......(2)
Substituting in (1)
$\cos ^{-1}(\cos \theta \cos x+\sin \theta \sin x)$
$\cos ^{-1} \cos (x-\theta)$
$=x-\theta$
We know that $\cos A \cos B+\sin A \sin B$
$=\cos (A-B)$
$\cos^{-1} \cos (A)=A$
from (2) substituting $\theta$
we get $x-\tan ^{-1} 4 / 3$
