Answer

$\frac{11\sqrt 5}{25}$

Work Step by Step

Recall that $\cos(A-B)=\cos A\cos B+\sin A\sin B$ $\implies \cos(\arcsin\frac{4}{5}-\arctan 2)=\cos (\arcsin \frac{4}{5})\cos(\arctan 2)+\sin(\arcsin \frac{4}{5})\sin(\arctan 2)$ $=\sqrt {1-(\frac{4}{5})^{2}}\cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt {1+2^{2}}}+\frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{2}{\sqrt {1+2^{2}}}$ $=\frac{3}{5}\cdot\frac{\sqrt 5}{5}+\frac{8\sqrt 5}{25}$ $=\frac{11\sqrt 5}{25}$
