Applications Of Derivatives Question 20

Question: What is the slope of the tangent to the curve $ y={{\sin }^{-1}}({{\sin }^{2}}x)atx=0 $ -

Options:

A) 0

B) 1

C) 2

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ y={{\sin }^{-1}}({{\sin }^{2}}x) $

$ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2\sin x\cos x}{\sqrt{1-{{\sin }^{4}}x}}\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\sin 2x}{\sqrt{1-{{\sin }^{4}}x}} $

$ atx=0,\frac{dy}{dx}=0 $
