arccot(x) - arccot(y) = arccot($\frac{xy + 1}{y - x}$)

We will learn how to prove the property of the inverse trigonometric function arccot(x) - arccot(y) = arccot($\frac{xy + 1}{y - x}$) (i.e., cot$^{-1}$ x + cot$^{-1}$ y = cot$^{-1}$ ($\frac{xy + y}{y - x}$)

Proof:

Let, cot$^{-1}$ x = α and cot$^{-1}$ y = β

From cot$^{-1}$ x = α we get,

x = cot α

and from cot$^{-1}$ y = β we get,

y = cot β

Now, cot (α - β) = ($\frac{cot α cot β + 1}{cot β - tan α}$)

cot (α - β) = $\frac{xy + 1}{y - x}$

⇒ α - β = cot$^{-1}$ $\frac{xy + 1}{y - x}$

⇒ cot$^{-1}$ x - cot$^{-1}$ y = cot$^{-1}$ $\frac{xy + 1}{y - x}$

Therefore, cot$^{-1}$ x - cot$^{-1}$ y = cot$^{-1}$ $\frac{xy + 1}{y - x}$
