Question
Evaluate:
$\text{cosec}\Big\{\cot^{-1}\Big(-\frac{12}{5}\Big)\Big\}$

Answer

$\text{cosec}\Big\{\cot^{-1}\Big(-\frac{12}{5}\Big)\Big\}$
$=\text{cosec}\Big\{-\cot^{-1}\Big(\frac{12}{5}\Big)\Big\}$ $\big[\because\ \cot^{-1}(\text{x})=-\cot^{-1}(\text{x})\big]$
$=\text{cosec}\Big\{-\text{cosec}^{-1}\Big(\frac{13}{12}\Big)\Big\}$
$\Big[\therefore\ \cot^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{b}}{\text{p}}\Big)=\text{cosec}^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{\text{p}}\Big)\Big]$
$=\text{cosec}\Big\{\text{cosec}^{-1}\Big(\frac{13}{12}\Big)\Big\}$ $\big[\because\ \text{cosec}(-\text{x})=-\text{cosec}(\text{x})\big]$
$=-\frac{13}{12}$
