trigonometry - Finding the reciprocals using trigonometric functions and their inverses



If $x\neq0$, how to find the reciprocal of $x$ only by using trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions?



I have found only one answer, which is;
$\tan (\cos ^{-1}(\sin(\tan^{-1}(x))))=\frac{1}{x}$.




Is there any other answer?


Answer



HINT



Recall that





$$\arctan x = \frac{\pi}2-\arctan \frac1x$$






$$\arctan x = -\frac{\pi}2-\arctan \frac1x$$
