Question:

If -1 ≤ x ≤ 0, then $tan \begin{Bmatrix}\frac{1}{2}sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{1+x^2}+\frac{1}{2}cos^{-1}\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\end{Bmatrix}$ is equal to 

Options:

$\frac{2x}{1-x^2}$

0

$\frac{2x}{1+x^2}$

x

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

We know that

$sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\right) = 2 tan^{-1}x$, if $-1≤ x≤ 1$

and,

$cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\right) = -2tan^{-1}x,$ if $-∞ < x ≤ 0.$

$∴ tan \begin{Bmatrix}\frac{1}{2}sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{1+x^2}+\frac{1}{2}cos^{-1}\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\end{Bmatrix}$

$= tan (tan^{-1} x - tan^{-1} x), $ if $-1 ≤ x ≤ 0 = tan 0=0$
