    If  \[u={{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}-1}{x} \right\}\] and \[v=2{{\tan }^{-1}}x\], then \[\frac{du}{dv}\]  is equal to                                                      [RPET 1997]

    A)            4

    B)            1

    C)            ¼

    D)            ?1/4

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[u={{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}-1}{x} \right\}\]and \[v=2{{\tan }^{-1}}x\]            Put \[x=\tan \theta \]in u and v;            \[u={{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{\sqrt{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }-1}{\tan \theta } \right\}\]and \[v=2\theta \]            \[u={{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{\sec \theta -1}{\tan \theta } \right\}\]and \[v=2\theta \]            \[\frac{3\,({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-xy-yz-zx)}{(x+y+z)({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-xy-yz-zx)}\]and \[v=2\theta \]            \[u=\theta /2\]and \[v=2\theta \]; \[\therefore \frac{du}{dv}=\frac{du/d\theta }{dv/d\theta }=\frac{1/2}{2}=\frac{1}{4}\].
