    The differential coefficient of \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left\{ \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{2}} \right\}\]with respect to x  is      [MP PET 1993]

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

    B)            \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}}\]

    C)            \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x}}\]

    D)            \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left\{ \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{2}} \right\}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[y={{\cos }^{-1}}\left\{ \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{2}} \right\}\]            Let \[\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{2}}=\cos \theta \] or \[x=2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -1=\cos 2\theta \];            \[\therefore \theta =\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{-1}}x\]. So, \[y=\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{-1}}x\]Þ \[-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}}\].
