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.`
