Find dxdy: y=sin−1(1+x22x)
Answer
The given relationship is y = sin-1(1+x22x)
Differentiating this relationship with respect to x, we obtain
dxd(sin y) = dxd (1+x22x)
⟹cos y dxdy = \frac {d}{dx}$$(\frac {2x}{1+x^2}) …….... (1)
The function, (1+x22x), is of the form of vu.
Therefore, by quotient rule, we obtain
dxd (1+x22x)=(1+x2) . dxd(2x) -2x . \frac {d}{dx}$$(\frac {1+x^2}{1+x^2})
= (1+x2)2(1+x2).2−2x(0+2x)
= (1+x2)22+2x2−4x2
= (1+x2)22(1−x2) ……..… (2)
Also, sin y = 1+x22x
⟹cos y = 1−sin2y = 1−(1+x22x)2 = (1+x2)2(1+x2)2−4x2
= (1+x2)2(1−x2)2
= 1+x21−x2
From (1), (2) and (3) we obtain
1+x21−x2 . dxdy = (1+x2)2(1−x2)
⟹ dxdy = 1+x22
