Arctanx+Arcsinx=pi/2

I did this so far...
Arc sinx=pi/2-Arc tanx

x=sin (pi/2-Arctanx)

I did the sine expansion and it came out to cos(Arctanx)

then u=Arctanx

then x=1/(sqrt 1+x^2) (mutiply both sides by (sqrt 1+x^2) )
x(sqrt1+x^2)=1
x(sqrt1+x^2)-1=0

I don't know what to do now! The book has a problem similar (cosine instead of sine) but it comes out nicer because you can factor out an x... =0. Please help!

So far so good. All you need do now is a little light algbra. You have:



Square both sides, then rearrange:



Now, let :


Solve for using the quadratic equation, then take the square root of that to find the value for .
