Question
Evaluate:
$\cot\Big\{\sec^{-1}\Big(-\frac{13}{5}\Big)\Big\}$

Answer

$\cot\Big\{\sec^{-1}\Big(-\frac{13}{5}\Big)\Big\}$
$\cot\Big\{\sec^{-1}\Big(\pi-\frac{13}{5}\Big)\Big\}$
$=-\cot\Big\{\sec^{-1}\Big(\frac{13}{5}\Big)\Big\}$
$=-\cot\begin{Bmatrix}\tan^{-1}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{5}{13}\Big)^3}}{\frac{5}{13}}\end{pmatrix}\end{Bmatrix}$
$=-\cot\Big\{\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{12}{5}\Big)\Big\}$
$=-\cot\Big\{\cot^{-1}\Big(\frac{5}{12}\Big)\Big\}$
$=-\frac{5}{12}$
