If $f(x)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \times 3^x}{1+9^x}\right)$, then $f^{\prime}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$…

If $f(x)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \times 3^x}{1+9^x}\right)$, then $f^{\prime}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$ equals.
  1. $\sqrt{3} \log _e \sqrt{3}$
  2. $-\sqrt{3} \log _e \sqrt{3}$
  3. $-\sqrt{3} \log _e 3$
  4. $\sqrt{3} \log _e 3$

Solution

Since $f(x)=\sin \left(\frac{2 \times 3^x}{1+9^x}\right)$ Suppose $3^x=\tan t$ $ \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow f(x)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \tan t}{1+\tan ^2 t}\right) \\ &=\sin ^{-1}(\sin 2 t)=2 t=2 \tan ^{-1}(3 x) \\ &\text { So, } f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{2}{1+\left(3^x\right)^2} \times 3^x \cdot \log _e 3 \\ &\therefore \quad f^{\prime}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{2}{1+\left(3^{-\frac{1}{2}}\right)^2} \times 3^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot \log _e 3 \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{3} \times \log _e 3=\sqrt{3} \times \log _e \sqrt{3} \end{aligned} $
