As we learnt in 

Relation between all the Inverse Trigonometric Functions -

\sin ^{-1}x = \tan ^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} = cosec ^{-1}\frac{1}{x} = \cos ^{-1}\sqrt{1-x^{2}} = \cot ^{-1}\frac{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}{x} = \sec ^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}

- wherein

This happens with domain of functions, x>0

 

 tan (cos^{-1}x)\:=\:sin(cot^{-1}\frac{1}{2})

\frac{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}{x}\:=\:\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}

\therefore 4x^{2}=5-5x^{2}

\Rightarrow x^{2}=\frac{5}{3} \Rightarrow x=\:\frac{\pm \sqrt{5}}{3}
