Ans: The given relationship is,
$ y={{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right) $
$ \Rightarrow \cos y=\frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{y}{2}}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{y}{2}}=\frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} $
On comparing L.H.S. and R.H.S. of the above relationship,
We get
$ \Rightarrow \text{ } $ $ \tan \frac{y}{2}=x $
$ \Rightarrow {\text{\; }}y = 2\left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}x} \right)$
Differentiating the above relationship with respect to
x,
We get
$ \Rightarrow {\text{ }}$ $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{d\left( {2{{\tan }^{ - 1}}x} \right)}}{{dx}}$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2\frac{{d\left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}x} \right)}}{{dx}}$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2\left( {\frac{1}{{1 + {x^2}}}} \right)$
$\therefore \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{2}{{1 + {x^2}}}$
