Hello,

I read your writing   sin(tan^-1(-1)+sin^-1(1/2))   as

.

Do I read correctly?

If my reading is correct,  then the rest part is simple.

= = 30°,

= = -45°.

sin(30° - 45°) = sin(30°)*cos(45°) - cos(30°)*sin(45°)       (subtraction formula for sines of  Trigonometry,  see the lesson  Addition and subtraction formulas  in this site)

                      = . - . = - = = = -0.259.
