CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. sin⁡−1x+cos⁡−1x=π2\sin^{-1} x + \cos^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2} for every xx in [−1,1][-1, 1].

  2. cos⁡−1x=π2−π5=3π10\cos^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{5} = \frac{3\pi}{10}.

Worth noting

4π5\frac{4\pi}{5} uses π\pi in place of π2\frac{\pi}{2} as the total.
