Question
Differentiate the following w.r.t. x : `cos^-1(sqrt((1 + cosx)/2))`
Advertisements
Solution
Let y = `cos^-1(sqrt((1 + cosx)/2))`
= `cos^-1(sqrt((2cos^2(x/2))/2))`
= `cos^-1[cos(x/2)]`
= `x/(2)`
Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
`"dy"/"dx" = "d"/"dx"(x/2)`
= `(1)/(2)"d"/"dx"(x)`
= `(1)/(2) xx 1`
= `(1)/(2)`.
