The derivative of tan - 1 1 + x 2 - 1 x with respect to tan - 1 2 x 1 - x 2 1 - 2 x 2 at x = 1 2 is :

The derivative of tan-11+x2-1x with respect to tan-12x1-x21-2x2 at x=12 is :
  1. 235
  2. 312
  3. 233
  4. 310

Solution

Let x=tanθ
y1=tan-1secθ-1tanθ=tan-1tanθ2=θ2=12tan-1x
x=sinϕ,  y2=tan-12sinϕcosϕcos2ϕ=tan-1(tan2ϕ)=2ϕ=2sin-1x

dy1dy2=dy1/dxdy2/dx=11+x2·122·11-x2
=1-x241+x2=1-1441+14=310
