Question
Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:
$\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)+\sec^{-1}\Big(\frac{1+\text{x}^2}{1-\text{x}^2}\Big),\text{x}\in\text{R}$

Answer

Let $\text{y}=\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)+\sec^{-1}\Big(\frac{1+\text{x}^2}{1-\text{x}^2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)+\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{1+\text{x}^2}{1-\text{x}^2}\Big)$
$\Big[\text{Since},\sec^{-1}\text{x}=\cos^{-1}\big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\big)\Big]$
$\Rightarrow \text{y}=\frac{\pi}{2}\Big[\text{Since}, \sin^{-1}\text{x}+\cos^{-1}\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}\Big]$
Differentiate it with respect to x,
$\therefore \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0$
