Let $\quad f(x)=e^x, \quad g(x)=\sin ^{-1} x \quad$ and $h(x)=f(g(x))$, then $\frac{h^{\prime}(x)}{h(x)}$ is equal to
  1. $\sin ^{-1} x$
  2. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$
  3. $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$
  4. $e^{\sin ^{-1} x}$

Solution

We have, $ \begin{aligned} h(x) & =f(g(x))=f\left(\sin ^{-1} x\right) \\ h(x) & =e^{\sin ^{-1} x} \\ \log h(x) & =\sin ^{-1} x \end{aligned} $ On differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get $ \frac{h^{\prime}(x)}{h(x)}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} $
