Given
y=f(x)=1−x2xsin−1x+ln1−x2We can rewrite the function as:
y=1−x2xsin−1x+21ln(1−x2)Differentiating with respect to
x using the product rule and chain rule:
dxdy=dxd(1−x2x)sin−1x+1−x2xdxd(sin−1x)+211−x21(−2x)dxdy=1−x21⋅1−x2−x⋅(1−x2−x)sin−1x+1−x2x⋅1−x21−1−x2xdxdy=[(1−x2)3/21−x2+x2]sin−1x+1−x2x−1−x2xdxdy=(1−x2)3/2sin−1xTo find the slope of the tangent at
x=0.5=21, we substitute this value into the derivative:
dxdyx=1/2=(1−(1/2)2)3/2sin−1(1/2)dxdyx=1/2=(3/4)3/2π/6=33/8π/6dxdyx=1/2=1838π=934πRationalizing the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by
3:
dxdyx=1/2=274π3
