MCQ
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big\{\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\cos\text{x}}{1+\sin\text{x}}\Big)\Big\}$ equals:
  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • ✓
    $-\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $-1$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-\frac{1}{2}$
Let $\text{u}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\cos\text{x}}{1+\sin\text{x}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{\cos^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\sin^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\cos^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\sin^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}+2\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\bigg)$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\tan^{-1}\frac{\big(\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)\big(\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}{\big(\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\bigg)$
dividing by $\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\tan^{-1}\bigg[\frac{1-\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{1+\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\bigg]$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\tan^{-1}\bigg[\frac{\tan\frac{\pi}{2}-\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{1+\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}\times\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\bigg]$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\tan^{-1}\Big[\tan\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=0-\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=-\frac{1}{2}$
