Substitute the value of $x$ for $x$ ; evaluate $tan^(-1)(x)$ ; multiply by 2; evaluate the $cos$ of the result.

Perhaps you meant:
"Find the value of $x$ for which $cos(2tan^(-1)(x))=0$ "
or something similar (???)

otherwise we have a question like:
"Find the value of $x+2$ "

How do you find the value of cos(2 tan ^-1 x)cos(2 tan ^-1 x)?
