Since 1+cos⁡x=2cos⁡2(x/2)1+\cos x=2\cos^2(x/2) and 1−cos⁡x=2sin⁡2(x/2)1-\cos x=2\sin^2(x/2), the ratio inside the root is cot⁡2(x/2)\cot^2(x/2), so 1+cos⁡x1−cos⁡x=cot⁡(x2)=tan⁡(π2−x2)\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos x}{1-\cos x}}=\cot\left(\dfrac x2\right)=\tan\left(\dfrac\pi2-\dfrac x2\right). So $y=\tan^{-1}\left[\tan\left(\dfrac\pi2-\dfra …
