7b)


d/dx ( tan‾¹ (x/√(1 - x²) )

= d/dx (tan‾¹ (x(1 - x²)-¹⁄²)

= 1/(1 + (x(1 - x²)-¹⁄²)² ) × (d/dx (x(1 - x²)-¹⁄²) )

= 1/(1 + x²(1 - x²)-¹ ) × ((1 - x²)-¹⁄² + x(-2x)(-½)(1 - x²)-³⁄² )

= 1/( (1-x²)-¹((1 - x²) + x²) ) × ( (1 - x²)-¹⁄² + x²(1 - x²)-³⁄² )

= 1/(1 - x²)-¹(1) × ( (1 - x²)-³/² ((1 - x²)+ x²) )

= (1 - x²) × (1-x²)-³⁄² (1)

= (1 - x²)¹-³⁄²

= (1 - x²)-¹⁄²

= 1/√(1 - x²)

9a)

e^(x + y) = x - y

Differentiate both sides with respect to x,


(1 + (1)dy/dx ) e^(x + y) = 1 - (1)dy/dx

e^(x + y) + e^(x + y) dy/dx = 1 - dy/dx


e^(x + y) dy/dx + dy/dx = 1 - e^(x + y)

dy/dx (e^(x + y) + 1) = 1 - e^(x + y)


dy/dx = (1 - e^(x + y) )/(1 + e^(x + y) )

Alternative to 7b)


Let y = tan‾¹ (x/√(1 - x²) )

Then tan y = (x/√(1 - x²) )


Differentiate both sides with respect to x,

sec²y (dy/dx) = ((1 - x²)-¹⁄² + x(-2x)(-½)(1 - x²)-³⁄² )


(1/cos y) dy/dx = ( (1 - x²)-¹⁄² + x²(1 - x²)-³⁄² )

dy/dx = (1 - x²)-³⁄² ((1 - x²)+ x²) ) cos y

dy/dx = (1-x²)-³⁄² (1)cos y



dy/dx = (1 - x²)-³⁄² (√(1- x²)/1)

= (1 - x²)-³⁄²+¹⁄²

= (1 - x²)-¹⁄²

= 1/√(1 - x²)




You may be wondering how did cos y get converted to √(1- x²)/1.

This is actually done by considering a right angled triangle with a designated angle y, with hypotenuse as 1, the opposite side as x, the adjacent as √(1 - x²)

(Based on tan y = (x/√(1 - x²) ) , so adj = x and opp = √(1 - x²)


Based on Pythagoras' Theorem we can say

adj² + opp² = hyp²

adj² = hyp² - opp² = 1² - x²

adj = √(1 - x²)

cos y = adj/hyp = √(1 - x²)/1



Since we are essentially differentiating
angle y when differentiating tan‾¹(x/√(1 - x²) ),

We can have a third alternative by restating it as differentiating sin‾¹(x/1) as it gives us the same angle y

sin‾¹(x/1) is just sin‾¹(x), which easily differentiates to 1/√(1 - x²) as you would have already learnt.

√(1 + xy) = 1/y

To make things easier, square both sides.

1 + xy = 1/y² = y‾²

Differentiate both sides wrt x,

y + x dy/dx = -2y‾³ dy/dx = -2/y³ dy/dx

x dy/dx + 2/y³ dy/dx = -y

(x + 2/y³)dy/dx = -y

dy/dx = -y/(x + 2/y³)

= -y⁴/(xy³ + 2)




Alternately,


√(1 + xy) = 1/y


Differentiate both sides wrt x,


½(1 + xy)‾¹⁄² (y + x dy/dx) = -1/y² dy/dx

y/(2√(1 + xy) ) + x/(2√(1 + xy) )dy/dx = -1/y² dy/dx


-y/(2√(1 + xy) ) = 1/y² dy/dx + x/(2√(1 + xy) )dy/dx


-y/(2√(1 + xy) ) = dy/dx (x/(2√(1 + xy) ) + 1/y²)

dy/dx = -y/(2√(1 + xy) ) × 1/(x/(2√(1 + xy) ) + 1/y²)


dy/dx = -y/( (2√(1 + xy) ) × 1/( (xy² + 2√(1 + xy) ) /(2y²√(1 + xy) ) )


dy/dx = -y/( (2√(1 + xy) ) × 2y²√(1 + xy) / ( xy² + 2√(1 + xy) )


= -y³/ (xy² + 2√(1 + xy) )

Don't worry about the different looking expressions for dy/dx, they are all interconvertible

Hi Janet! For Q7b, this is probably the more efficient approach.

Q7b, Q9a

These are the alternative workings for Q7b by direct differentiation.

Q9a requires you to use chain rule for differentiation with respect to x. Since y is a function of x, it also gets differentiated to dy/dx (implicitly, which arises from the chain rule).

Q9b also requires a similar idea, which I will post next.
