(c)
Let's define functions a, b, and c like this:
a(x) = cot( arctan(x) ) = 1x where x is any real number except 0
b(x) = cos( arctan(x) ) = √1x2+1 where x is any real number
c(x) = cos( arcsin(x) ) = √1−x2 where x is a real number the interval [-1, 1]
We start with 0 on the display.
Then we can take the cos to get 1
Then we can do b to get √12
Then we can do b to get √23
Then we can do c to get √13
Then we can do b to get √34
Then we can do c to get √14
Then we can do b to get √45
Then we can do b to get √59
Then we can do a to get 3√5

(b)
We start with sqrt(x) on the display.
Then take the arctan of what is on the display.
Then take the cos of what is on the display. This gives us 1√x+1
Then...just like from part (a).....we can take the arctan of what is on the display.
Then take the cot of what is on the display.
Altogether:
cot(arctan(cos(arctan(√x)))) =cot(arctan(1√x+1)) =√x+1
