Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To prove that \( \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{9}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) \), we will start by using the formula for the sum of inverse tangents. ### Step 1: Apply the formula for the sum of inverse tangents We know that: \[ \tan^{-1}(a) + \tan^{-1}(b) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{a + b}{1 - ab}\right) \] for \( ab < 1 \). ...
