If y = t a n - 1 s e c x - t a n x , then the absolute value of 2 d y d x is
Correct answer
1
Step-by-step solution
y = t a n - 1 s e c x - t a n x y = t a n - 1 1 - s i n x c o s x ⇒ y = t a n - 1 c o s x 2 - s i n x 2 2 c o s 2 x 2 - s i n 2 x 2 ⇒ y = t a n - 1 c o s x 2 - s i n x 2 c o s x 2 + s i n x 2 ⇒ y = t a n - 1 1 - t a n x 2 1 + t a n x 2 ⇒ y = t a n - 1 t a n π 4 - x 2 ⇒ y = π 4 - x 2 Differentiating with respect to x , we get ⇒ d y d x = - 1 2 = - 0.5
