Let $f(\theta)=\sin \left[\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}}\right)\right]$, where $-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$. Then, the value of $\frac{d}{d(\tan \theta)}(f(\theta))$ is

Solution

$f(\theta)=\sin \left(\tan ^{-1} \frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}}\right),-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$ Let $\tan ^{-1} \frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}}=\phi$ $ \Rightarrow \quad \tan \phi=\frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}} $
$ \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \sin \phi & =\frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{\sin ^2 \theta+\cos 2 \theta}} \\ & =\frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \theta}}=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=\tan \theta \end{aligned} $ $ \begin{array}{ll} \therefore & f(\theta)=\sin \phi=\tan \theta \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{d f(\theta)}{d(\tan \theta)}=1 \end{array} $
