Question
If $\text{y}=\cot^{-1}\Big\{\frac{\sqrt{1+\sin\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\sin\text{x}}}{\sqrt{1+\sin\text{x}}-\sqrt{1-\sin\theta}}\Big\},$ show that $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ is independent of x.

Answer

Let $\text{y}=\cot^{-1}\Big[\frac{\sqrt{1+\sin\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\sin\text{x}}}{\sqrt{1+\sin\text{x}}-\sqrt{1-\sin\theta}}\Big] \ .....(\text{i})$
Then, $\frac{\sqrt{1+\sin\theta}+\sqrt{1-\sin\text{x}}}{\sqrt{1+\sin\text{x}}-\sqrt{1-\sin\text{x}}}$
$=\frac{\big(\sqrt{1+\sin\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\sin\text{x}}\big)^2}{\big(\sqrt{1+\sin\text{x}}-\sqrt{1-\sin\text{x}}\big)\big(\sqrt{1+\sin\text{x}}+\sqrt{1-\sin\text{x}}\big)} $
$=\frac{(1+\sin\text{x})+(1-\sin\text{x})+2\sqrt{(1-\sin\text{x})(1+\sin\text{x})}}{(1+\sin\text{x})-(1-\sin\text{x})}$
$=\frac{2+2\sqrt{1-\sin^2\text{c}}}{2\sin\text{x}}$
$=\frac{1+\cos\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}$
$=\frac{2\cos^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{2\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$
$=\cot\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
Therefore, equation (i) becomes
$\text{y}=\cot^{-1}\Big(\cot\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
$\therefore\ \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{2}$
