Find and equivalent algebraic expression for the composition, cot(arcsin(x))

So we're looking for the cotangent of an angle whose sine = x = x/1

So using the Pythagorean Theorem, the side adjacent to the angle is √(1 - x²)

So the cotangent is √(1 - x²) / x

I only know the answer. The answer is arcsin(x)=90. I don't know the equivalant expression.

Your answer is better than mine, Chris.

I wish I was so smart...
