Differentiation Question 297

Question: If $ y=(1+x^{2}){{\tan }^{-1}}x-x, $ then $ \frac{dy}{dx}= $

[Karnataka CET 2001]

Options:

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

B) $ 2x{{\tan }^{-1}}x $

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

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

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

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

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