Find \( \frac{d y}{d x} \), if \( y=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\cos x-\sin x}{\cos x+\sin x}\right) \).

Answer»

y = tan-1(\(\frac{cos x - sin x}{cos x + sin x}\))

 = tan-1(\(\frac{1-tan x}{1+tan x}\)) (On dividing numerator and denominator by cos x)

 = tan-1(\(\frac{tan \pi/4-tan x}{1+tan \pi/4 tan x}\))

 = tan-1(tan(\(\pi/4-x\)))

 = \(\pi/4-x\)

\(\therefore\) \(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{\pi}4-x)=-1\)
