{\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{15}{17}\right)+2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{15}{17}\right)+\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1-1 / 25}{1+1 / 25}\right)} \\ \because \cos ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} y=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}{\cos ^{-1}\{x y-\sqrt{1-x^{2}} \sqrt{1-y^{2}}\}} & {\text { if }-1 \leq x, y \leq 1 \text { and } x+y \geq 0} \\ {2 \pi-\cos ^{-1}\{x y-\sqrt{1-x^{2}} \sqrt{1-y^{2}}\}} & {\text { if }-1 \leq x, y \leq 1 \text { and } x+y \leq 0}\end{array}\right.\\ {=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{15}{17}\right)+\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)\\ =\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{15}{17} \times \frac{12}{13}-\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{15}{17}\right)^{2}} \sqrt{\left.1-\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{2}\right)}\right)} \\ {=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{140}{221}\right)}
