Show that $$ \cos \left(\tan ^{-1} t\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+t^{2}}} $$ for every number \(t\).
Explain why $$ \cos ^{-1} \frac{5}{13}=\sin ^{-1} \frac{12}{13}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{12}{5} $$.
Suppose a 19 -foot ladder is leaning against a wall, making a \(71^{\circ}\) angle with the ground (as measured from a perpendicular line from the base of the ladder to the wall). How high up the wall is the end of the ladder?
Show that $$ \tan \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=-\frac{1}{\tan \theta} $$ for every angle \(\theta\) that is not an integer multiple of \(\frac{\pi}{2} .\) Interpret this result in terms of the characterization of the slopes of perpendicular lines.
Evaluate \(\cos ^{-1}(\cos 3 \pi)\).
