To find the values first we declare each term to some constant ;

tan^{-1}(1) = x , So we have \tan x = 1;

or \tan (\frac{\pi}{4}) = 1 

Therefore, x = \frac{\pi}{4} 

 cos^{-1}(\frac{-1}{2}) = y 

So, we have

 \cos y = \left ( \frac{-1}{2} \right ) = -\cos \left ( \frac{\pi}{3} \right ) = \cos(\pi - \frac{\pi}{3}) = \cos \left ( \frac{2\pi}{3} \right ).

Therefore y = \frac{2\pi}{3},

\sin^{-1}(\frac{-1}{2}) = z,

So we have;

\sin z = \frac{-1}{2}   or  -\sin (\frac{\pi}{6}) =\sin (\frac{-\pi}{6}) = \frac{-1}{2}

Therefore z = -\frac{\pi}{6}

Hence we can calculate the sum:

= \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{2\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6}

=\frac{3\pi + 8\pi -2\pi}{12} = \frac{9\pi}{12}=\frac{3\pi}{4}.
