take tan on both sides :P

u can make a substitution as x=sin(theta)

and write 1=sin2(theta)/2+cos2(theta/2)

Apart from what sankara said,,,...

What i was saying is this

1+x - √1-x1+x + √1-x = 1 - tan(1/2 cos-1x)1 + tan(1/2 cos-1x)

Now apply componendo dividendo to get

1+x1-x = 1 tan(1/2 cos-1x)

1-x1+x = tan(1/2 cos-1x)

2 tan-1(1-x1+x) = cos-1x

2 cos-1(√(1+x)/2 ) = cos -1x

Which has 1 step left if you take cos on both sides....
