Mathematics Question on Derivatives
If y=sin2cot−11−x1+x, then dxdy is equal to
A
2sin2x
B
sin2x
C
21
D
−21
Answer
−21
Explanation
Solution
y=sin2cot−11−x1+x Put, x=cosθ
⇒ θ=cos−1x ...(i) y=sin2cot−11−cosθ1+cosθ y=sin2cot−12sin2θ/22cos2θ/2 y=sin2cot−1(cotθ/2) y=sin2θ/2 y=21−cosθ y=21−x [From E(i)] Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get dxdy=−21
