`tan^-1sqrt((1 - cos x)/(1 + cos x)` 

Sum

Solution

Let y = `tan^-1sqrt((1 - cos x)/(1 + cos x)` 

[1 – cos 2θ = 2 sin2θ and 1 + cos 2θ = 2 sin2 θ]

y = `tan^-1 sqrt((2 sin^2  x/2)/(2 cos^2  x/2))`

y = `tan^-1 sqrt(tan^2  x/2)`

y = `tan^-1(tan  x/2)`

y = `x/2`

`("d"y)/("d"x) = 1/2 xx 1 = 1/2`
