Question
Evaluate the following:
$\cot^{-1}\Big\{2\cos\Big(\sin^{-1}\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\Big)\Big\}$

Answer

$\cot^{-1}\Big\{2\cos\Big(\sin^{-1}\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\Big)\Big\}$
$=\cot^{-1}\Big\{2\cos\Big[\sin^{-1}\Big(\sin\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\Big)\Big]\Big\}$
$=\cot^{-1}\Big(2\cos\frac{\pi}{3}\Big)$
$=\cot^{-1}\Big(2\times\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
$=\cot^{-1}(1)$
$=\cot^{-1}\Big(\tan\frac{\pi}{4}\Big)$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}$
