If $sec\left(\frac{x^{2}-2x}{x^{2}+1}\right)=y$, then $\frac{dy}{dx}$ is equal to

Updated On: Oct 15, 2024
  • $\frac{y^{2}}{x^{2}}$
  • $\frac{2y\sqrt{y^{2}-1}\left(x^{2}+x-1\right)}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{2}}$
  • $\frac{\left(x^{2}+x-1\right)}{y\sqrt{y^{2}-1}}$
  • $\frac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}}$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$y=sec\left(\frac{x^{2}-2x}{x^{2}+1}\right)$ $\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=sec\left(\frac{x^{2}-2x}{x^{2}+1}\right)tan\left(\frac{x^{2}-2x}{x^{2}+1}\right)$. $\left\{\frac{\left(x^{2}+1\right)\left(2x-2\right)-\left(x^{2}-2x\right)\left(2x\right)}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{2}}\right\}$ $=sec\left(\frac{x^{2}-2x}{x^{2}+1}\right)tan\left(\frac{x^{2}-2x}{x^{2}+1}\right)\cdot\frac{2x^{2}+2x-2}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{2}}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2y\sqrt{y^{2}-1}\left(x^{2}+x-1\right)}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{2}}$

Continuity & Differentiability

Definition of Differentiability

f(x) is said to be differentiable at the point x = a, if the derivative f ‘(a) be at every point in its domain. It is given by

Differentiability

Definition of Continuity

Mathematically, a function is said to be continuous at a point x = a,  if

It is implicit that if the left-hand limit (L.H.L), right-hand limit (R.H.L), and the value of the function at x=a exist and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.

Continuity

If the function is unspecified or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.
