Question
Evaluate the following:
$\sin\Big(\frac{1}{2}\cos^{-1}\frac{4}{5}\Big)$

Answer

$\sin\Big(\frac{1}{2}\cos^{-1}\frac{4}{5}\Big)$
$=\sin\Bigg\{\frac{1}{2}\times2\sin^{-1}\pm\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{4}{5}}{2}}\Bigg\}$ $\bigg[\because\ \cos^{-1}\text{x}=2\sin^{-1}\pm\sqrt{\frac{1-\text{x}}{2}}\bigg]$
$ =\sin\Big(\sin^{-1}\pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\Big)$
$\pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}$
