#-sin(arccos(2))+tan("arccsc"(4))=1/15sqrt15-sqrt3i#

We use the following identities to evaluate the above expression:

#sinx=sqrt(1-cos^2x)#

#cotx=sqrt(csc^2x-1)#

#tanx=1/cotx#

So

#-sin(arccos(2))+tan("arccsc"(4))#

#=-sqrt(1-cos^2(arccos2))+1/sqrt(csc^2("arccsc"4)-1)#

#=-sqrt(1-4)+1/sqrt(16-1)#

#-sqrt(-3)+1/sqrt15#

#=1/15sqrt15-sqrt3i#
