$\frac{d}{d x}\left\{\left(1+x^2\right) \tan ^{-1}(x)\right\}=$

$\frac{d}{d x}\left\{\left(1+x^2\right) \tan ^{-1}(x)\right\}=$
  1. $x \tan ^{-1}(x)$
  2. $2 \tan ^{-1}(x)$
  3. $2 x \tan ^{-1}(x)+1$
  4. $x \tan ^{-1}(x)+1$

Solution

We have, $ \begin{gathered} \frac{d}{d x}(u \cdot v)=u \cdot \frac{d v}{d x}+v \cdot \frac{d v}{d x} \\ \frac{d}{d x}\left[(1+x)^2 \cdot \tan ^{-1}(x)\right]=\left(1+x^2\right) \\ \frac{d}{d x} \tan ^{-1} x+\frac{d}{d x}\left(1+x^2\right) \cdot \tan ^{-1} x \\ =\left(1+x^2\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1+x^2}+(2 x) \cdot \tan ^{-1} x \\ =1+2 x \tan ^{-1} x=2 x \tan ^{-1} x+1 \end{gathered} $ Hence, option (3) is correct
