Question
If $\sec\Big(\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}}{\text{x}-\text{y}}\Big)=\text{a}$ prove that $\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}$

Answer

We have, $\sec\Big(\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}}{\text{x}-\text{y}}\Big)=\text{a}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}}{\text{x}-\text{y}}=\sec^{-1}({\text{a}})$
Differentiate with respect to x, we get,
$\Rightarrow\bigg[\frac{(\text{x}-\text{y})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x}+\text{y})-(\text{x}+\text{y})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x}-\text{y})}{(\text{x}-\text{y}}\bigg]=0$
$\Rightarrow(\text{x}-\text{y})\Big(1+\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big)-(\text{x}+\text{y})\Big(1-\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big)=0$
$\Rightarrow(\text{x}-\text{y})+(\text{x}-\text{y})\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-(\text{x}+\text{y})+(\text{x}+\text{y})\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}[\text{x}-\text{y}+\text{x}+\text{y}]=\text{x}+\text{y}-\text{x}+\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}(2\text{x})=2\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}$
