Correct answer
B. 1
Step-by-step solution
We have y = ⁻¹ 1 + 2x 1 - 2x . Using the trigonometric identities 1 + 2x = ( x + x)^2 and 1 - 2x = ( x - x)^2 , we get: y = ⁻¹ ( x + x)^2 ( x - x)^2 = ⁻¹ | x + x x - x | At x = 6 , 6 = 3 2 and 6 = 1 2 . Since x > x , the expression inside the modulus is positive. y = ⁻¹ ( x + x x - x ) Dividing the numerator and the denominator by x : y = ⁻¹ ( 1 + x 1 - x ) y = ⁻¹ ( ( 4 + x ) ) For x = 6 , 4 + x = 5 12 , which lies in the principal branch ( - 2 , 2 ) . y = 4 + x Differentiating with respect to x : d y d x = 1 Answe
