If y  = sec (tan-1 x), then dy/dx at x = 1 is equal to 

  • fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction
  • 1 half
  • 1

  • square root of 2

Solution

A.

fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction space straight y space equals space sec space left parenthesis tan to the power of negative 1 end exponent space straight x right parenthesis
dy over dx space equals space sec space left parenthesis tan to the power of negative 1 end exponent space straight x right parenthesis space tan space left parenthesis tan to the power of negative 1 end exponent space straight x right parenthesis fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1 plus straight x squared end fraction
right enclose dy over dx end enclose subscript straight x space equals 1 end subscript space equals space square root of 2 space straight x space 1 space straight x space 1 half space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction
