soution Let ( cos ^{-1} frac{4}{5}=theta ) Then, ( cos theta=frac{4}{5} ) [ begin{array}{l} therefore quad tan theta=frac{sqrt{1-cos ^{2} theta}}{cos theta}=frac{sqrt{1-frac{16}{25}}}{(4 / 5)}=left(frac{3}{5} times frac{5}{4}right)=frac{3}{4} Rightarrow theta=tan ^{-1} frac{3}{4} therefore cos ^{-1} frac{4}{5}=tan ^{-1} frac{3}{4} therefore quad cos ^{-1} frac{4}{5}+tan ^{-1} frac{3}{5}=tan ^{-1} frac{3}{4}+tan ^{-1} frac{3}{5} =tan ^{-1}left(frac{frac{3}{4}+frac{3}{5}}{1-frac{3}{4} times frac{3}{5}}right)=tan ^{-1} frac{27}{11} end{array} ]
