    \[\frac{d}{dx}{{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{x-{{x}^{-1}}}{x+{{x}^{-1}}}\]=      [DSSE 1985; Rookee 1963]

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

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

    C)            \[\frac{2}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\]

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Putting \[x=\cot \theta \]            \[y={{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{x-{{x}^{-1}}}{x+{{x}^{-1}}} \right)={{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{{{x}^{2}}-1}{{{x}^{2}}+1} \right)\]                      \[={{\cos }^{-1}}(\cos 2\theta )=2\theta \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-2}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\].
