參考: My Maths knowledge
cosx-√3sinx=rcos(x+α)
=rcosxcosα-rsinxsinα
=(rcosα)cosx-(rsinα)sinx

comparing the coefficient,
rcosα=1 and rsinα=√3

r² =1²+√3²
r²=4

rsinα/rcosα=√3/1
tanα=√3

thus,r²=4 and tanα=√3

Hence solve the equation cosx-√3sinx=1 for -180° <180° .

cosx-√3sinx=1
2cos(x+60)=1
cos(x+60)=1/2
x+60=60 or 300
x=0 or 240
x=0 or -120

Write down the least valur of (1/(cosx-√3sinx)²)

1/(cosx-√3sinx)²
={1/[2cos(x+60)]²}
=1/4(1)
=1/4
