Expression for $cos^{-1}xpmcos^{-1}y$












1












$begingroup$


As mentioned in Proof for the formula of sum of arcsine functions $arcsin x+arcsin y$ for $sin^{-1}x+sin^{-1}y$



$$
sin^{-1}x+sin^{-1}y=
begin{cases}
sin^{-1}( xsqrt{1-y^2} + ysqrt{1-x^2}) ;;;x^2+y^2 le 1 \
pi - sin^{-1}( xsqrt{1-y^2} + ysqrt{1-x^2}) ;;;x^2+y^2 > 1, 0< x,y le 1\
-pi - sin^{-1}( xsqrt{1-y^2} + ysqrt{1-x^2}) ;;;x^2+y^2 > 1, -1< x,y le 0
end{cases}
$$
Can we have similar expression for $cos^{-1}xpmcos^{-1}y$ ?

    I mean $arccos(x) = pi/2 - arcsin(x)$ which you can surely use to reformulate your expressions in terms of $arccos$.

Alternatively, to get rid of all those cases, we can write:
$$sin^{-1}xpmsin^{-1}y=text{atan2}(xsqrt{1-y^2}pm ysqrt{1-x^2}, sqrt{1-x^2}sqrt{1-y^2}mp xy)$$
and:
$$cos^{-1}xpmcos^{-1}y=text{atan2}(ysqrt{1-x^2}pm xsqrt{1-y^2}, xympsqrt{1-x^2}sqrt{1-y^2})$$



See atan2.

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Image
Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form?
