Correct Answer :

1

Solution :

The correct option is 1.

Let us find the derivative of sin12x1+x2 with respect to cos11x21+x2 using substitution.

Let u=sin12x1+x2 and v=cos11x21+x2.

We want to find the derivative of u with respect to v, which is given by dudv=du/dxdv/dx.

To simplify both expressions, let us substitute x=tanθ, where θ=tan1(x).

First, simplifying u:
u=sin12tanθ1+tan2θ

Using the trigonometric identity sin(2θ)=2tanθ1+tan2θ, we get:
u=sin1sin(2θ)=2θ

Substituting back θ=tan1(x), we have:
u=2tan1(x)

Differentiating u with respect to x:
dudx=21+x2

Second, simplifying v:
v=cos11tan2θ1+tan2θ

Using the trigonometric identity cos(2θ)=1tan2θ1+tan2θ, we get:
v=cos1cos(2θ)=2θ

Substituting back θ=tan1(x), we have:
v=2tan1(x)

Differentiating v with respect to x:
dvdx=21+x2

Finally, we calculate dudv:
dudv=du/dxdv/dx=21+x221+x2=1

Thus, the derivative is equal to 1.
