The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$y = \sqrt{\left(\frac{1+\cos 2\theta}{1 -\cos 2\theta}\right)} $ , $\Rightarrow \:\: y = \sqrt{ \frac{2 \:\cos^2 \theta}{2 \: \sin^2\theta}} = \sqrt{\cot^2 \: \theta}$ $\Rightarrow \:\: y = \cot \: \theta$ Differentiate w.r.t. $' \theta '$, we get $\frac{dy }{d \theta} = - cosec^2 \theta$ Now , $ \left( \frac{dy }{d \theta}\right)_{\theta = \frac{3 \pi}{4}}$ $ = -cosec^2 \left( \frac{3 \pi}{4} \right)$ $ = -cosec^2 \left(\pi - \frac{ \pi}{4} \right)$ $ = -cosec^2 \frac{ \pi}{4}$ $ = - 2 \left( \because \sin \frac{ \pi}{4} = \frac{ 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) $

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.
