First we will convert those radian angles to degrees, since my mind works better with degrees. Let's work one at a time. First, 
. If we start at the positive x-axis and measure out 315 we end up in the 4th quadrant with a reference angle of 45 with the positive x-axis. The side across from the reference angle is -1, the side adjacent to the angle is 1, and the hypotenuse is sqrt2. The cotangent of this angle, then is 1/-1 which is -1. As for the second one, converting radians to degrees gives us that 
. Sweeping out that angle has us going around the origin more than once and ending up in the first quadrant with a reference angle of 30° with the positive x-axis. The side across from the angle is 1, the side adjacent to the angle is √3, and the hypotenuse is 2. Therefore, the secant of that angle is 2/√3.

For this case we must find the inverse of the following function:
We follow the steps below:
Replace f(x) with y:
We exchange the variables:
We solve for "y":
Multiply by -2 on both sides of the equation:
We raise both sides of the equation to the square to eliminate the radical:
We subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:
We change y by f ^ {- 1} (x):
