Differentiation Question 343

Question: If $ y={{\cos }^{-1}}( \frac{3\cos x+4\sin x}{5} ) $ , then $ \frac{dy}{dx}= $

Options:

A) 0

B) 1

C) $ -1 $

D) $ \frac{1}{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ y={{\cos }^{-1}}[ \frac{3}{5}\cos x-\frac{4}{5}\sin x ] $

Putting $ \frac{3}{5}=r\cos \theta ,\frac{4}{5}=r\sin \theta \Rightarrow r=1 $

Therefore $ y={{\cos }^{-1}}[\cos \theta \cos x-\sin \theta \sin x]=\theta +x $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=1 $ .
