Is there any way I can reduce or simplify expressions like cos(sin-1(x)), sin(cos-1(x)), cos(tan-1(x)), tan(cot-1(x)) etc.? (I refer to the arc functions, i.e. inverses, by the superscript -1, not the reciprocals)

Trigonometric equations are mathematical expressions that involve trigonometric functions, such as sine, cosine, and tangent. They are used to solve problems related to triangles and other geometric shapes.
The general form of a trigonometric equation is f(x) = a sin(bx + c) + d, where a, b, c, and d are constants and f(x) represents the trigonometric function.
To solve a trigonometric equation, you need to isolate the trigonometric function on one side of the equation and use algebraic techniques to solve for the variable. You may also need to use trigonometric identities and special values to simplify the equation.
Some common types of trigonometric equations include linear equations, quadratic equations, and equations involving multiple trigonometric functions. These equations may also involve inverse trigonometric functions, such as arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent.
Trigonometric equations are important in many fields of science and engineering, such as physics, astronomy, and geometry. They are used to solve real-world problems involving angles, distances, and other geometric properties.
