    \[\sin ({{\cot }^{-1}}x)\]             [MNR 1987; MP PET 2001; DCE 2002]

    A) \[\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}\]

    B) \[x\]

    C) \[{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{-3/2}}\]

    D) \[{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{-1/2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[{{\cot }^{-1}}x=\theta \,\,\Rightarrow \,\,x=\cot \theta \] Now \[\cos ec\,\theta =\sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta }=\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\sin \theta =\frac{1}{\cos ec\,\theta }=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}\,\,\Rightarrow \,\theta ={{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}\] Hence \[\sin \,({{\cot }^{-1}}x)\,=\sin \,\left( {{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}} \right)\] \[=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}={{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{-1/2}}\].
