Q72 / 120 · VITEEE 2009 · Mathematics

$x=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+t^{2}}}\right)$, $y=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{\sqrt{1+t^{2}}}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}$ is equal to

  • A
    0
  • B
    $\tan t$
  • Correct answer
    C
    1
  • D
    $\sin t \cos t$

Solution

We have, $x=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+t^{2}}}\right)$ and $y=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{\sqrt{1+t^{2}}}\right)$ $$ \Rightarrow x=\tan ^{-1} t \text { and } y=\tan ^{-1} t $$ $$ \therefore y=x \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=1 $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
