Question
If $\sec ^{-1}\left(\frac{1+x}{1-y}\right)=a$, then $\frac{d y}{d x}$ is equal to

Answer

Given, $\sec ^{-1}\left(\frac{1+x}{1-y}\right)=a \Rightarrow \sec a=\frac{1+x}{1-y}$
On differentiating, we get
$\frac{(1-y)+(1+x) \frac{d y}{d x}}{(1-y)^2}=0 \Rightarrow(1+x) \frac{d y}{d x}=y-1 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y-1}{1+x}
