We'll start from the fact that sin(arcsin x) =
x.
Comparing, we'll get:
sin
(arcsin(1/4)) = 1/4
We'll note arccos(1/4) =
a
cos (2arccos(1/4)) = cos
2a
We'll apply the double angle
identity:
cos 2a = 2(cos a)^2 -
1
If a = arccos(1/4) => (cos a)^2 = (cos
arccos(1/4))^2 = 1/4^2
The sum will
become:
S = 1/4 + 2/4^2 - 1
S
= 1/4 + 2/16 - 1
S =
(4+2-16)/16
S = -10/16
S =
-5/8
The value of the trigonometric sum
sin(arcsin(1/4))+cos(2arccos(1/4)) = -5/8.
