Method of Differentiation — JEE Maths practice question

JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
ddx[cos1 ⁣(xx(1x)(1x2))]\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[\cos^{-1}\!\left(x\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{(1-x)(1-x^{2})}\right)\right] is
A11x2+12xx2\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}+\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x-x^{2}}}
B11x212xx2\dfrac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}-\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x-x^{2}}}correct
C11x2+1xx2\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^{2}}}
D11x2\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}
Solution
Step 1: Let x=cosA\sqrt{x}=\cos A so A=cos1 ⁣xA=\cos^{-1}\!\sqrt{x}, and x=cosBx=\cos B so B=cos1xB=\cos^{-1}x. Then 1(x)2=sinA\sqrt{1-(\sqrt{x})^{2}}=\sin A and 1x2=sinB\sqrt{1-x^{2}}=\sin B. Step 2: The expression inside cos1\cos^{-1} becomes:
xx(1x)(1x2)=cosBcosAsinAsinB=cos(A+B)x\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{(1-x)(1-x^{2})}=\cos B\cdot\cos A-\sin A\cdot\sin B=\cos(A+B)
Step 3: Therefore:
y=cos1(cos(A+B))=A+B=cos1 ⁣x+cos1xy=\cos^{-1}(\cos(A+B))=A+B=\cos^{-1}\!\sqrt{x}+\cos^{-1}x
Step 4: Differentiate each term. For cos1 ⁣x\cos^{-1}\!\sqrt{x}: use chain rule with x\sqrt{x}:
ddxcos1 ⁣x=11(x)212x=12x1x=12xx2\dfrac{d}{dx}\cos^{-1}\!\sqrt{x}=\dfrac{-1}{\sqrt{1-(\sqrt{x})^{2}}}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{-1}{2\sqrt{x}\,\sqrt{1-x}}=\dfrac{-1}{2\sqrt{x-x^{2}}}
For cos1x\cos^{-1}x:
ddxcos1x=11x2\dfrac{d}{dx}\cos^{-1}x=\dfrac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}
Step 5: Combine:
dydx=12xx211x2\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-1}{2\sqrt{x-x^{2}}}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}
Correct answer: (2)
