The value of

\tan ^{-1} [\;{1}/{2} \cos ^{-1} (\;{{√{5}}}/{3}) ]

Solution: 👈: Video Solution

y=\tan [\;{1}/{2} \cos ^{-1} (\;{{√{5}}}/{3}) ]

Let,

x=\cos ^{-1} (\;{{√{5}}}/{3})

⇒ \cos x=\;{{√{5}}}/{3}

∴ y=\tan \;{1}/{2} x

y=\tan \;{x}/{2}

y=√{\;{1-\cos x}/{1+\cos x}}

=√{\;{1-{{√{5}}}/{3}}/{1+\;{{√{5}}}/{3}}}

=√{\;{3-{√{5}}}/{3+{√{5}}}}

rationalizing the factor, we get,

{\y}=\;{3-{√{5}}}/{2}
