Differentiation Problem.... (5) Find the Derivative of \(\tan^{-1} \left(\cfrac{\sqrt{1+x^2} -1}{x} \right) \) w.r.t \(\cos^{-1} \left(\sqrt{\cfrac{1 + \sqrt{1+x^2}}{2\sqrt{1+x^2}}}\right) \)
In order to give a brief idea about this... This question is from the topic - Differentiatin of Parametric Functions.
And I'm not sure from where should I start dealing with it.
@Callisto
will start like this \( (\tan^{-1} ( g(x) ))' = \tan'^{-1} g(x) . g(x)' \)
mmm chain rule
Okay... tbh, I was not in the mood to try that. But, I will try this now with the help of ur suggestion... 1 minute
ok shall i continue with u ? or u wanna do it by urself ?
I will prefer that you continue with me... as I don't have proper plan in the mind to do it myself.
ill give u the mood power :O Goooooooooooooooo |dw:1401801663735:dw|
ok one thing i have to ask w.r.t cos.... means u wanna the answer with cos -1 ?
lol...
It is more like f(x) w.r.t g(x)
hhh idk if that gonna work burt leet give it a try :)
\(\large (\tan^{-1} ( g(x) ))' = \tan'^{-1} g(x) . g(x)' \) =\(\large = \frac {1}{1+g(x)} . g'(x) \)
or u wanna proof that tan^-1 g(x)= 1/1+x ??
idk why Os is laging for me -,,-
Put, x = \(\tan {\theta}\)
Then, \[\tan^{-1} (\cfrac{\sqrt{1+x^2}-1}{x}) = \tan^{-1} (\cfrac{\sec{\theta} - 1}{\tan{\theta}})\]
\[= \tan^{-1}(\cfrac{1-\cos{\theta}}{\sin{\theta}})\]
Put, cos \(\theta\) = 1-2\(sin^2{\theta}\)
= theta/2 , right?
*theta/2 in sine
Yes
Right, so, the next function is also theta/2 ?
And thus : d(f(x))/d(g(x)) = 1 ? Right?
f(x) = tan^{-1} ... g(x) = cos^{-1} ...
Yes
Got it.. Thanks a lot @vishweshshrimali5 . And thanks @BSwan .
:D
;)
*head hurts* yup....time to go play a game to entertain my small attention span..
