C. xsin−1x[logx+sin−1x⋅x(1+x2)]
D. −xsin−1x[logx+sin−1x⋅x(1+x2)]
Solution
Hint : As we can see that we have to differentiate the given function with respect to sin−1x . In this question we will assume the expressions into smaller variables to solve the easier problem. Then we take the log to the both sides of the equation. We should know that the formula of log is that if there is log(a)b , then it can be written as bloga .
Complete step by step solution:
Let us assume that y=xsin−1x and the power i.e. z=sin−1x⇒z=sin1x . It can be written as sinz=x .
Now we have to find dzdy . We have y=(sinz)z , by taking log on the both sides we have logy=log(sinz)z .
By applying the above logarithm formula we have: logy=zlogsinz .
Now we will differentiate it w.r.t z (z=sin−1x) .
We can write it as y1dzdy=logsinz+zsinzcosz , by transferring y to the other side of the equation: dzdy=y(logsinz+zsinzcosz) .
If we have sinz=x , then we can write the value of cosz=1−sin2z=1−x2 .
By putting the values back in the equation we have: xsin−1x[logx+sin−1x⋅x(1−x2)] .
Hence the correct option is (a) xsin−1x[logx+sin−1x⋅x(1−x2)] .
So, the correct answer is “Option A”.
Note : We should note that to find the value of cosz , we have used an identity which is sin2θ+cos2θ=1 . So to find the value of cosθ=1−sin2θ . We should solve carefully to avoid any calculation mistakes and we should be fully aware of the trigonometric identities and how to differentiate them.
