Given that cot-1(cosα)-tan-1(cosα)=x

We know that tan-1A+cot-1A=π2

Hence, the given equaiton can be rewrite as 

π2-2tan-1(cosα)=x

It implies that 

tan-1(cosα)=π4-x2cosα=1-tanx21+tanx2 =cosx2-sinx2cosx2+sinx2

Squaring on both sides

cosα=1-sinx1+sinx

Use componendo and dividendo

1-sinx+1+sinx1-sinx-1-sinx=cosα+1cosα-1sinx=2sin2α22cos2α2 =tan2α2
