Question
Find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ if $y=\sec ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2 x^{2}-1}\right), 0<x<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ 

Answer

It is given that $y=\sec ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2 x^{2}+1}\right)$ 
$\Rightarrow \sec y=\frac{1}{2 x^{2}+1}$ 
$\Rightarrow$ cos y = 2x2 + 1
$\Rightarrow$ 2x2 = 1 + cos y
$\Rightarrow$ 2x2 = 2cos2 $\frac{y}{2}$
$\Rightarrow$ x = cos $\frac{y}{2}$ 
Differentiating w.r.t x, we get
$\frac{d}{d x}(x)=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\cos \frac{y}{2}\right)$ 
$\Rightarrow 1=-\sin \frac{\mathrm{y}}{2} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{2}\right)$ 
$\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{\sin \frac{y}{2}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{d y}{d x}$ 
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-2}{\sin \frac{y}{2}}=\frac{-2}{\sqrt{1-\cos ^{2} \frac{y}{2}}}$ 
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-2}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}$
