Question
Differentiate tan-1 $\Bigg[\frac{\sqrt{\text{1+x}^{2}-1}}{\text{x}}\Bigg]$ with respect to x.

Answer

Let x = tan θ
$\therefore$ Given expression becomes y = tan-1 $\Bigg(\frac{\sec\theta-1}{\tan\theta}\Bigg)=\tan^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{1-\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\Bigg)$
$\therefore\text{y = tan}^{-1}\Bigg(\tan\frac{\theta}{2}\Bigg)=\frac{1}{2}\theta=\frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}\text{x}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{\text{2(1+x}^{2})}$.
