Answer

$\dfrac{\sqrt 6+\sqrt 2}{4}$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $\sin [\cos^{-1} (\dfrac{1}{2}) +\tan^{-1} 1)=\sin(60^{\circ}+45^{\circ})$ Use formula $\sin (p+q)=\sin p\cos q +\cos p \sin q$ Thus, we have $\sin(60^{\circ}+45^{\circ})=\sin 60^{\circ} \cos 45^{\circ}+\cos 60^{\circ} \sin 45^{\circ} $ This gives: $=(\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2})(\dfrac{\sqrt 2}{2})+(\dfrac{1}{2})(\dfrac{\sqrt 2}{2})$ or, $=\dfrac{\sqrt 6+\sqrt 2}{4}$
