    If \[y=\frac{{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}}{1+{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}},z={{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}},\]then \[\frac{dy}{dx}\]is equal to:

    A) \[\frac{1}{1+{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}}\]               

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

    C)         \[\frac{-1}{1+{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}}\]             

    D)         none of these 

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We have, \[y=\frac{{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}}{1+{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}},z={{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[y=\frac{z}{1+z}\] On differentiating w.r.t. z, we get \[\frac{dy}{dz}=\frac{(1+z)-z(1)}{{{(1+z)}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{1}{{{(1+z)}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{1}{{{(1+{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}})}^{2}}}\]                 Now,       \[z={{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}\] On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get \[\frac{dz}{dx}={{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}\log a\left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}} \right)\]                 \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{dz}.\frac{dz}{dx}\] \[=\frac{1}{{{(1+{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}})}^{2}}}.{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}\left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}} \right)\log a\] \[=-\frac{{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}}}{{{(1+{{a}^{{{\cos }^{-1}}x}})}^{2}}}.\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}}.\log \,a\]
