Answer

$3.11448036786$

Work Step by Step

Make sure that the setting for angles is "radians". $\cot^{-1}x$ is evaluated as $\left\{\begin{array}{lll} \tan^{-1}(1/x) & if & x > 0\\ \pi+\tan^{-1}(1/x) & if & x <0 \end{array}\right.$ (x is negative here) Keys: "shift" or "2nd function" "tan" numerical keypad: ($-1\div$36.874610) "=" numerical keypad: $+\pi$ "=" yields $3.11448036786$
