Differentiation Question 127

Question: Differential coefficient of $ \frac{{{\tan }^{-1}}x}{1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x} $ w.r.t. $ {{\tan }^{-1}}x $ is

Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x} $

B) $ \frac{-1}{1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x} $

C) $ \frac{1}{{{(1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x)}^{^{2}}}} $

D) $ \frac{-1}{2{{(1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x)}^{2}}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The differential coefficient of $ \frac{{{\tan }^{-1}}x}{1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x} $ with respect to $ {{\tan }^{-1}}x=\frac{\frac{d}{dx}( \frac{{{\tan }^{-1}}x}{1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x} )}{\frac{d}{dx}({{\tan }^{-1}}x)} $

$ =\frac{(1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x)\frac{d}{dx}{{\tan }^{-1}}x-{{\tan }^{-1}}x\frac{d}{dx}(1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x)}{{{(1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x)}^{2}}.\frac{d}{dx}{{\tan }^{-1}}x} $

$ =\frac{1}{{{(1+{{\tan }^{-1}}x)}^{2}}} $ .
