If $x^2 y^2=\sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x$, then $\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}$ at $x=1$ and $y=2$ is
If $x^2 y^2=\sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x$, then $\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}$ at $x=1$ and $y=2$ is
- $\frac{1}{2}$
- 2
- $-\frac{1}{2}$
- -2
Solution
$\begin{aligned}
& x^2 y^2 \\
& = \sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}\end{aligned}$
Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
$\begin{aligned}
& 2 x y^2+2 y x^2 \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \\
\therefore & \left.\frac{\mathrm{~d} y}{d x}\right|_{(1,2)}=-2
\end{aligned}$
