If $x=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+t^2}}\right), y=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+t^2}}\right)$, then $\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}$ is
  1. $0$
  2. $\frac{\sin t}{\cos t}$
  3. 1
  4. $\sin t \cdot \cos t$

Solution

let $t=\tan \theta$, then $\begin{aligned} & x=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\tan ^2 \theta}}\right)=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sec \theta}\right)=\cos ^{-1} \cos \theta=\theta \\ & y=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\tan \theta}{\sqrt{1+\tan ^2 \theta}}\right)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\tan \theta}{\sec \theta}\right)=\sin ^{-1} \sin \theta=\theta \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d(\theta)}{d \theta}=1\end{aligned}$
