...
Let $\cot^{-1} x=z$
$$x=\cot z$$
Then,
$$\sin \cot^{-1} (x)$$
$$=\sin z$$
$$=\dfrac {1}{\csc z}$$
$$=\dfrac {1}{\sqrt {1+\cot^2 z}}$$
$$=\dfrac {1}{\sqrt {1+x^2}}$$
 [/INST] Let $y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$ and let $\tan^{-1}y=w$
Then, $$\begin{align}
\ \cos{\tan^{-1}y} & =\cos{w} \\
\ \text{Now since $1 \ge y \gt 0$ we have $\cos{w} \gt 0$}\\
\ &= \frac{1}{\sec{w}}\\
\ &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\tan^2{w}}}\\
\ &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+y^2}}\
\end{align}$$
And then substitute $y$.
