Differentiate the following functions with respect to `x`:`tan^(-1){sqrt((1+cosx)/(1-cosx))}` |
Answer» `sqrt((1+cosx)/(1-cosx)) = sqrt((2cos^2(x/2))/(2sin^2(x/2)))` `=cot(x/2)` Let `y = tan^-1(sqrt((1+cosx)/(1-cosx)) )` `=>y = tan^-1(cot(x/2))` `=>y = pi/2 - cot^-1(cot(x/2))` `=>y = pi/2 - x/2` Differentiating both sides w.r.t. `x`, `=>dy/dx = 0-1/2` `:. dy/dx =-1/2.` |
