Problem

expansion
[tex]arctanx=\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{1}{x}+o(\frac{1}{x})[/tex]

Attempt:
arctanx=y
tany=x
for [tex]y=\frac{\pi}{2}-z[/tex] [tex]tan(\frac{\pi}{2}-z)=\frac{1}{tanz}=x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{cosz}{sinz}=\frac{1+o(z^2)}{z+o(z^3)}=\frac{1}{z}(1+o(z^2))=x[/tex]*
[tex]arctanx=y=\frac{\pi}{2}-z=\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{1}{x}+o(\frac{1}{x})[/tex]
But how we can convert [tex]\frac{1}{z}(1+o(z^2))=x[/tex]
to [tex]z=\frac{1}{x}+o(\frac{1}{x})[/tex]

i think I've found the answer.
[tex]z=\frac{1}{x}+o(\frac{z^2}{x})[/tex]
[tex]arctanx=y=\frac{\pi}{2}-z[/tex]
[tex]z=\frac{\pi}{2}-arctanx=o(1)(x\rightarrow\infty)[/tex]
so
[tex]z=\frac{1}{x}+o(\frac{1}{x})[/tex]
