Expressions involving inverse cotangent for JEE
Inverse trigonometrical functions and their properties
Formula
\(\sin(\cot^{-1}x)=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}},\quad \cos(\cot^{-1}x)=\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\)
Variables: \(x\in\mathbb{R}\).
Conditions: Using principal range \((0,\pi)\); sign of cosine follows sign of \(x\).
Algebraic conversion of inverse cotangent expressions.
