For $0 < x < 1$, express $sin[sin^{-1}(x) + cos^{-1}(x)]$, in terms of $x$

$begingroup$


I need to express $sin[sin^{-1}(x) + cos^{-1}(x)]$, in terms of $x$, if $0 < x < 1$.



I'm not sure how to solve this. If I knew the value of $x$, I would try and apply the identity, $sin(A-B)=sin(A)cos(B)+ cos(A)sin(A)$, but since the answer is the real number $1$, I don't see how that would work.



For example:
$$sin[sin^{-1}(x) + cos^{-1}(x)]$$
$$sin[sin^{-1}(x)] cdot cos[cos^{-1}(x)] + cos[sin^{-1}(x)] cdot sin[cos^{-1}(x)]$$
$$x cdot x + cos[sin^{-1}(x)] cdot sin[cos^{-1}(x)]$$
$$x^2 + cos[sin^{-1}(x)] cdot sin[cos^{-1}(x)]$$



That's where I'm stuck.

Using the fact $$cos(u)=sqrt{1-sin^2 u}\sin(u)=sqrt{1-cos^2 u}$$we have $$cos [sin^{-1}x]cdot sin [cos^{-1}x]=sqrt{1-sin^2 (sin^{-1}x)}cdot sqrt{1-cos^2 (cos^{-1}x)}=1-x^2$$therefore $$large sin[sin^{-1}x+cos^{-1}x]=1$$

Write $cos(sin^{-1} x)$ as $sin(fracpi2 - sin^{-1}x)$ and expand using the identity.



Similarly, solve the other term by writing $sin(cos^{-1} x)$ as $cos(fracpi2 - cos^{-1} x)$ and expanding it using an identity.

    Hint: Use



    $$arcsin x = y_1 implies sin y_1 = x$$



    $$arccos x = y_2 implies cos y_2 = x$$



    and



    $$cos theta = sin bigg(frac{pi}{2}-thetabigg)$$



    to get



    $$implies y_2 = frac{pi}{2}-y_1$$



    So what does $y_1+y_2$ become?

    • $begingroup$
      You've got to be careful here $sin y_1=cos y_2$ doesn't necessarily imply that $y_2=frac{pi}{2}-y_1$. For example, $sin (frac{pi}{2})=cos (2pi)$.

              You've got to be careful here $sin y_1=cos y_2$ doesn't necessarily imply that $y_2=frac{pi}{2}-y_1$. For example, $sin (frac{pi}{2})=cos (2pi)$.
