The derivative of sin−1x w.r.t. cos−11−x2 is (−1≤x≤1)
A) 1−x21
B) 1
C) cos−1x
D) tan−11−x21
Solution
We have to find the derivative of sin−1x with respect to cos−11−x2. For that, we will first find the differentiation of sin−1x with respect to x and then we will find the differentiation of cos−11−x2 with respect to x. Then we will divide the value of the derivative of cos−11−x2 obtained by the value of derivative of sin−1x. From there, we will get the result of the derivative of sin−1x with respect to cos−11−x2.
Complete step by step solution:
Let sin−1x=u and cos−11−x2=v
Now, we will first differentiate u with respect to x.
⇒dxdu=dxdsin−1x
We know the differentiation of sin−1x is equal to 1−x21
Therefore,
⇒dxdu=1−x21…………….. (1)
Now, we will differentiate v with respect to x.
⇒dxdv=dxdcos−11−x2
We know the differentiation of cos−1x is equal to−1−x21, so to find differentiation of cos−11−x2, we will use chain rule of differentiation.
Therefore, the equation becomes.
⇒dxdv=−1−(1−x2)221−x2−2x
Simplifying it further, we get
⇒dxdv=−x221−x2−2x=1−x21…………….. (2)
According to the question, we have to find the derivative of sin−1x with respect to cos−11−x2
For that, we will divide equation (1) by equation (2)
Therefore,
⇒dvdu=1−x211−x21
As the value of numerator and denominator are the same. So its division will be equal to one.
⇒dvdu=1
We have found dvdu which is equal to derivative of sin−1x with respect to cos−11−x2
Therefore, the derivative of sin−1x with respect to cos−11−x2 is 1.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
Note:
We need to know the following terms as we have used them in this solution.
Differentiation is defined as a process in which we find the function which gives the output of rate of change of one variable with respect to another variable.
Differentiation by chain rule: In this method, the differentiation of function f(g(x)) is equal to f′(g(x)).g′(x)
