\[\tan^{-1} (\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}-1}{x}) w.r.t \tan^{-1}x\]
OpenStudy (dls):
x=tan theta
OpenStudy (dls):
it should be 1/2 if you do it correctly
OpenStudy (dls):
its dam simple if you substitute x=tan theta
OpenStudy (loser66):
@DLS I applied your suggestion, and get 1/ sqrt (1 -x^2), not 1/2 .

you will get 1/2 arctanx on simpliying this
OpenStudy (dls):
and u have to differentiate WRT arctanx so it will cancel out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The function becomes arctan( sin y - cot y)
OpenStudy (loser66):
ok, please, watch me
OpenStudy (loser66):
x = tan theta, --> theta = arctan x ,

sqrt (1 +tan^2 ) -1 / x = sqrt (sec^2 ) -1/tan x
= sec -1 /tanx
OpenStudy (loser66):
and then?
OpenStudy (loser66):
take quotient differentiate?
OpenStudy (dls):
NONONONOONONOO
OpenStudy (loser66):
yes, guide me please

\[\Huge y=\frac{\sec \theta -1}{\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}}\]
\[\Huge y=\frac{1-\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}\]
\[\Huge y=\frac{1-(1-{2 \sin^2 \frac{\theta}{2}})}{2\sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}\]
\[\Huge y=\tan^{-1}(\tan \frac{\theta}{2})\]
\[\Huge y=\frac{\theta}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}x \]
for all x(-pi/2,pi/2)
OpenStudy (loser66):
thank you very much.
OpenStudy (dls):
yw :)
