Let's assume there is solution for $\displaystyle 0 \le a,b \le \pi /2$ $\displaystyle b= \frac{\arccos ( \frac{1- 2 \cos (3a)}{2} )}{3} = \frac{\arccos ( \frac{1- 2 \cos (5a)}{2} )}{5}$ Now we have one variable and one equation.(?) I conjecture that solution is near to 1.5. Find x where f(x)=0 in $\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{\arccos ( \frac{1- 2 \cos (3x)}{2} )}{3} - \frac{\arccos ( \frac{1- 2 \cos (5x)}{2} )}{5}$
