Question 48

HardOriginal question

What is dydx\frac{dy}{dx} for y=sin⁡−1(2x1−x2)y = \sin^{-1}\left(2x\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}\right), ∣x∣<12\lvert x \rvert < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Put x=sin⁡θx = \sin \theta: 2sin⁡θcos⁡θ=sin⁡2θ2\sin \theta\cos \theta = \sin 2\theta, so the function is 2θ=2sin⁡−1x2\theta = 2\sin^{-1} x.

  2. So dydx=21−x2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}}.

Worth noting

11−x2\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}} drops the 2 in 2sin⁡−1x2\sin^{-1} x.
