Question: If $ x={{\sin }^{-1}}(3t-4t^{3}) $ and $ y={{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{(1-t^{2})} $ , then $ \frac{dy}{dx} $ is equal to

[Kerala (Engg.) 2002]

Options:

A) ½

B) 2/5

C) 3/2

D) 1/3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ y={{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{1-t^{2}}={{\sin }^{-1}}t $

and $ \frac{du}{ds}=2x.\frac{dx}{ds}+2y.\frac{dy}{ds} $

$ \frac{d^{2}y}{ds^{2}}=0 $

Therefore $ y=2s-t $ .
