Let f(x)f(x) be the function given by f(x)= arc cos(1−x21+x2)f(x)=\,arc\,cos \left(\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\right). Then,
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
f′(x)={21+x2,x>0−21+x2,x<0f^{\prime}(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{2}{1+x^2}, & x>0 \\ \frac{-2}{1+x^2}, & x<0\end{cases}
Option B is correct because the derivative of arccos((1-x2)/(1+x2)) is piecewise, being 2/(1+x2) for x>0 and -2/(1+x2) for x<0 due to the properties of arctangent.
