Differentiation by substitution Questions in English

(A) Let $y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\cos x}{1 + \sin x} \right)$.
Using trigonometric identities $\cos x = \cos^2 \frac{x}{2} - \sin^2 \frac{x}{2}$,$\sin x = 2 \sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}$,and $1 = \cos^2 \frac{x}{2} + \sin^2 \frac{x}{2}$:
$y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\cos^2 \frac{x}{2} - \sin^2 \frac{x}{2}}{(\cos \frac{x}{2} + \sin \frac{x}{2})^2} \right)$
$y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{(\cos \frac{x}{2} - \sin \frac{x}{2})(\cos \frac{x}{2} + \sin \frac{x}{2})}{(\cos \frac{x}{2} + \sin \frac{x}{2})^2} \right)$
$y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\cos \frac{x}{2} - \sin \frac{x}{2}}{\cos \frac{x}{2} + \sin \frac{x}{2}} \right)$
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\cos \frac{x}{2}$:
$y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1 - \tan \frac{x}{2}}{1 + \tan \frac{x}{2}} \right) = \tan^{-1} \left( \tan \left( \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{x}{2} \right) \right)$
$y = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{x}{2}$
Now,differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{x}{2} \right) = - \frac{1}{2}$.

(A) Let $y = \tan^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos(x/2)}{1 - \cos(x/2)}}$.
Using the trigonometric identities $1 + \cos \theta = 2\cos^2(\theta/2)$ and $1 - \cos \theta = 2\sin^2(\theta/2)$,we get:
$y = \tan^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{2\cos^2(x/4)}{2\sin^2(x/4)}}$
$y = \tan^{-1}\sqrt{\cot^2(x/4)}$
$y = \tan^{-1}(\cot(x/4))$
Since $\cot(x/4) = \tan(\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{x}{4})$,we have:
$y = \tan^{-1}(\tan(\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{x}{4})) = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{x}{4}$
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{x}{4}) = 0 - \frac{1}{4} = - \frac{1}{4}$.

(B) Let $y = \tan^{-1}(\sec x + \tan x)$.
We can rewrite the expression inside the inverse tangent function as:
$\sec x + \tan x = \frac{1}{\cos x} + \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = \frac{1 + \sin x}{\cos x}$.
Using trigonometric identities $\sin x = 2\sin(\frac{x}{2})\cos(\frac{x}{2})$,$\cos x = \cos^2(\frac{x}{2}) - \sin^2(\frac{x}{2})$,and $1 = \sin^2(\frac{x}{2}) + \cos^2(\frac{x}{2})$:
$\frac{1 + \sin x}{\cos x} = \frac{\cos^2(\frac{x}{2}) + \sin^2(\frac{x}{2}) + 2\sin(\frac{x}{2})\cos(\frac{x}{2})}{\cos^2(\frac{x}{2}) - \sin^2(\frac{x}{2})} = \frac{(\cos(\frac{x}{2}) + \sin(\frac{x}{2}))^2}{(\cos(\frac{x}{2}) - \sin(\frac{x}{2}))(\cos(\frac{x}{2}) + \sin(\frac{x}{2}))} = \frac{\cos(\frac{x}{2}) + \sin(\frac{x}{2})}{\cos(\frac{x}{2}) - \sin(\frac{x}{2})}$.
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\cos(\frac{x}{2})$,we get:
$\frac{1 + \tan(\frac{x}{2})}{1 - \tan(\frac{x}{2})} = \tan(\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{x}{2})$.
Thus,$y = \tan^{-1}(\tan(\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{x}{2})) = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{x}{2}$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{x}{2}) = 0 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$.

(A) Let $y = \cos^{-1}\sqrt{\cos x}$.
Using the chain rule,$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (\sqrt{\cos x})^2}} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{\cos x})$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \cos x}} \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{\cos x}} \cdot (-\sin x)$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin x}{2\sqrt{\cos x}\sqrt{1 - \cos x}}$.
Since $\sin x = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 x} = \sqrt{(1 - \cos x)(1 + \cos x)}$,we have:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{1 - \cos x}\sqrt{1 + \cos x}}{2\sqrt{\cos x}\sqrt{1 - \cos x}}$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{1 + \cos x}}{2\sqrt{\cos x}} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos x}{\cos x}} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\sec x + 1}$.

(B) Let $y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{4\sqrt{x}}{1 - 4x} \right)$.
We can rewrite the expression as $y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{2(2\sqrt{x})}{1 - (2\sqrt{x})^2} \right)$.
Using the formula $2\tan^{-1}(\theta) = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{2\theta}{1 - \theta^2} \right)$,let $\theta = 2\sqrt{x}$.
Then $y = 2\tan^{-1}(2\sqrt{x})$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{1 + (2\sqrt{x})^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(2\sqrt{x})$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{1 + 4x} \cdot 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{x}(1 + 4x)}$.

(A) Given $y = \frac{\sqrt{a + x} - \sqrt{a - x}}{\sqrt{a + x} + \sqrt{a - x}}$.
Rationalizing the denominator,we multiply the numerator and denominator by $(\sqrt{a + x} - \sqrt{a - x})$:
$y = \frac{(\sqrt{a + x} - \sqrt{a - x})^2}{(a + x) - (a - x)} = \frac{(a + x) + (a - x) - 2\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}{2x} = \frac{2a - 2\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}{2x} = \frac{a - \sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}{x} \dots (i)$
Now,differentiating with respect to $x$ using the quotient rule:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(a - \sqrt{a^2 - x^2}) - (a - \sqrt{a^2 - x^2}) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x)}{x^2}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x \cdot [0 - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} \cdot (-2x)] - (a - \sqrt{a^2 - x^2})}{x^2}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{x^2}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} - a + \sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}{x^2} = \frac{x^2 - a\sqrt{a^2 - x^2} + a^2 - x^2}{x^2\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} = \frac{a^2 - a\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}{x^2\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{a(a - \sqrt{a^2 - x^2})}{x^2\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} = \frac{a}{x\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} \cdot \left( \frac{a - \sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}{x} \right)$
Substituting from $(i)$,we get $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ay}{x\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}$.

(C) Given expression is $y = \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos x}{1 + \cos x}}$.
Using trigonometric identities,$1 - \cos x = 2 \sin^2 \frac{x}{2}$ and $1 + \cos x = 2 \cos^2 \frac{x}{2}$.
Substituting these,we get $y = \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{2 \sin^2 (x/2)}{2 \cos^2 (x/2)}} = \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\tan^2 \frac{x}{2}} = \tan^{-1} \left( \tan \frac{x}{2} \right)$.
Thus,$y = \frac{x}{2}$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$,we get $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{x}{2} \right) = \frac{1}{2}$.

(C) Given $y = \frac{a^{\cos^{-1}x}}{1 + a^{\cos^{-1}x}}$ and $z = a^{\cos^{-1}x}$.
Substituting $z$ into the expression for $y$,we get $y = \frac{z}{1 + z}$.
Now,differentiate $y$ with respect to $z$ using the quotient rule $\frac{d}{dz}(\frac{u}{v}) = \frac{v \frac{du}{dz} - u \frac{dv}{dz}}{v^2}$.
$\frac{dy}{dz} = \frac{(1 + z)(1) - z(1)}{(1 + z)^2}$.
$\frac{dy}{dz} = \frac{1 + z - z}{(1 + z)^2} = \frac{1}{(1 + z)^2}$.
Substituting back $z = a^{\cos^{-1}x}$,we get $\frac{dy}{dz} = \frac{1}{(1 + a^{\cos^{-1}x})^2}$.

(C) Given $y = \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x})$.
Using the chain rule,we differentiate with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x}))$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\sqrt{x})^2}} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{x})$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x}} \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}\sqrt{1-x}}$.

(D) Given $y = \tan^{-1} \left[ \frac{\sin x + \cos x}{\cos x - \sin x} \right]$.
Divide the numerator and denominator by $\cos x$:
$y = \tan^{-1} \left[ \frac{\tan x + 1}{1 - \tan x} \right]$.
Using the formula $\tan(A + B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B}$,where $A = \pi/4$ and $B = x$:
$y = \tan^{-1} \left[ \tan(\pi/4 + x) \right]$.
Since $\tan^{-1}(\tan \theta) = \theta$,we get:
$y = \pi/4 + x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\pi/4) + \frac{d}{dx}(x) = 0 + 1 = 1$.

(D) Let $y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{x}(3 - x)}{1 - 3x} \right)$.
Substitute $\sqrt{x} = \tan \theta$,which implies $\theta = \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x})$.
Then $x = \tan^2 \theta$,so the expression becomes $\tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\tan \theta (3 - \tan^2 \theta)}{1 - 3\tan^2 \theta} \right)$.
Using the trigonometric identity $\tan(3\theta) = \frac{3\tan \theta - \tan^3 \theta}{1 - 3\tan^2 \theta}$,the expression simplifies to $\tan^{-1}(\tan 3\theta) = 3\theta$.
Substituting back,$y = 3\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x})$.
Now,differentiate with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 3 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x}))$
$= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{1 + (\sqrt{x})^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{x})$
$= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{1 + x} \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$
$= \frac{3}{2(1 + x)\sqrt{x}}$.

(B) Given $y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{a\cos x - b\sin x}{b\cos x + a\sin x} \right)$.
Divide the numerator and denominator by $b\cos x$:
$y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\frac{a}{b} - \tan x}{1 + \frac{a}{b}\tan x} \right)$.
Let $\frac{a}{b} = \tan \theta$,then $y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\tan \theta - \tan x}{1 + \tan \theta \tan x} \right)$.
Using the formula $\tan(A - B) = \frac{\tan A - \tan B}{1 + \tan A \tan B}$,we get:
$y = \tan^{-1}(\tan(\theta - x)) = \theta - x$.
Since $\theta = \tan^{-1}(\frac{a}{b})$ is a constant,differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}(\frac{a}{b}) - x) = 0 - 1 = -1$.

(A) Given $y = \sin(2\sin^{-1}x)$.
Let $x = \sin\theta$,then $\theta = \sin^{-1}x$.
Substituting this into the expression for $y$:
$y = \sin(2\theta) = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta$.
Since $\sin\theta = x$,we have $\cos\theta = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2\theta} = \sqrt{1 - x^2}$.
Thus,$y = 2x\sqrt{1 - x^2}$.
Now,differentiate $y$ with respect to $x$ using the product rule:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \left[ x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{1 - x^2}) + \sqrt{1 - x^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x) \right]$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \left[ x \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \cdot (-2x) + \sqrt{1 - x^2} \cdot 1 \right]$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \left[ \frac{-x^2}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} + \sqrt{1 - x^2} \right]$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \left[ \frac{-x^2 + (1 - x^2)}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \right] = 2 \left[ \frac{1 - 2x^2}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \right] = \frac{2 - 4x^2}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$.

(C) Let $x = \tan \theta$,where $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.
The expression becomes $y = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta} \right) + \sec^{-1} \left( \frac{1 + \tan^2 \theta}{1 - \tan^2 \theta} \right)$.
Using trigonometric identities,$\sin 2\theta = \frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}$ and $\cos 2\theta = \frac{1 - \tan^2 \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}$.
Thus,$y = \sin^{-1} (\sin 2\theta) + \sec^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\cos 2\theta} \right) = \sin^{-1} (\sin 2\theta) + \sec^{-1} (\sec 2\theta)$.
Assuming the principal value branch,$y = 2\theta + 2\theta = 4\theta$.
Substituting back $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$,we get $y = 4 \tan^{-1} x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$,$\frac{dy}{dx} = 4 \cdot \frac{d}{dx} (\tan^{-1} x) = \frac{4}{1 + x^2}$.

(C) Let $x = \cos \theta$. Then $\theta = \cos^{-1} x$.
The first term is $y_1 = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\cos \theta}{1 + \sin \theta} \right) = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sin(\pi/2 - \theta)}{1 + \cos(\pi/2 - \theta)} \right) = \tan^{-1} \left( \tan \left( \frac{\pi/2 - \theta}{2} \right) \right) = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\theta}{2}$.
The second term is $y_2 = \sin \left( 2 \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos \theta}{1 + \cos \theta}} \right) = \sin \left( 2 \tan^{-1} \left( \tan \frac{\theta}{2} \right) \right) = \sin \theta = \sqrt{1 - x^2}$.
Thus,$y = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1} x + \sqrt{1 - x^2}$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 - \frac{1}{2} \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \right) + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 - x^2}} (-2x) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 - x^2}} - \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} = \frac{1 - 2x}{2\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$.

(D) Let $y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} \right)$.
Substitute $x = a \sin \theta$,which implies $\theta = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{a} \right)$.
Then,$\sqrt{a^2 - x^2} = \sqrt{a^2 - a^2 \sin^2 \theta} = a \cos \theta$.
Substituting these into the expression:
$y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{a \sin \theta}{a \cos \theta} \right) = \tan^{-1} (\tan \theta) = \theta$.
Thus,$y = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{a} \right)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{a} \right) \right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (x/a)^2}} \cdot \frac{1}{a} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{a^2 - x^2}{a^2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{a} = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} \cdot \frac{1}{a} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}$.

(C) Let $y = \cos^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1 + x^2}{2}}$.
Substitute $x^2 = \cos 2\theta$,which implies $\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$.
Then,$\sqrt{\frac{1 + x^2}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos 2\theta}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{2\cos^2 \theta}{2}} = \cos \theta$.
So,$y = \cos^{-1}(\cos \theta) = \theta = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\cos^{-1}(x^2)) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (x^2)^2}} \right) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2)$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^4}} \right) \cdot 2x = -\frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^4}}$.

(B) Let $x = \sin \theta$ and $y = \sin \phi$.
Substituting these into the given equation:
$\cos \theta + \cos \phi = a(\sin \theta - \sin \phi)$
Using the sum-to-product formulas:
$2 \cos \left( \frac{\theta + \phi}{2} \right) \cos \left( \frac{\theta - \phi}{2} \right) = a \left[ 2 \cos \left( \frac{\theta + \phi}{2} \right) \sin \left( \frac{\theta - \phi}{2} \right) \right]$
Assuming $\cos \left( \frac{\theta + \phi}{2} \right) \neq 0$,we divide both sides:
$\cot \left( \frac{\theta - \phi}{2} \right) = a$
$\frac{\theta - \phi}{2} = \cot^{-1} a \Rightarrow \theta - \phi = 2 \cot^{-1} a$
Substituting back $\theta = \sin^{-1} x$ and $\phi = \sin^{-1} y$:
$\sin^{-1} x - \sin^{-1} y = 2 \cot^{-1} a$
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - y^2}} \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{1 - y^2}}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - y^2}{1 - x^2}}$.

(C) Let $y = \sin^{-1}(2ax\sqrt{1 - a^2x^2})$.
Substitute $ax = \sin \theta$,which implies $\theta = \sin^{-1}(ax)$.
Then $y = \sin^{-1}(2 \sin \theta \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \theta}) = \sin^{-1}(2 \sin \theta \cos \theta) = \sin^{-1}(\sin 2\theta) = 2\theta$.
Substituting back,$y = 2 \sin^{-1}(ax)$.
Now,differentiate with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (ax)^2}} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(ax) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{1 - a^2x^2}} \cdot a = \frac{2a}{\sqrt{1 - a^2x^2}}$.

(D) Let $y = \cos^{-1} \left( \frac{1 - x^2}{1 + x^2} \right)$.
Substitute $x = \tan \theta$,where $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.
Then,$\frac{1 - x^2}{1 + x^2} = \frac{1 - \tan^2 \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta} = \cos(2\theta)$.
So,$y = \cos^{-1}(\cos(2\theta)) = 2\theta = 2 \tan^{-1} x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1} x) = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{1 + x^2} = \frac{2}{1 + x^2}$.

(C) Given $y = \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{1 - x^2})$.
Let $\sqrt{1 - x^2} = \sin \theta$,which implies $1 - x^2 = \sin^2 \theta$.
Then $x^2 = 1 - \sin^2 \theta = \cos^2 \theta$,so $x = \cos \theta$ (assuming $x > 0$ for the principal value range).
Thus,$\theta = \cos^{-1} x$.
Substituting this back into the expression for $y$,we get $y = \sin^{-1}(\sin \theta) = \theta = \cos^{-1} x$.
Now,differentiating $y = \cos^{-1} x$ with respect to $x$,we get:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$.

(D) Given $y = \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{a - x}{a + x}}$.
Let $x = a \cos \theta$,then $\theta = \cos^{-1}(\frac{x}{a})$.
Substituting $x$ in the expression:
$y = \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{a - a \cos \theta}{a + a \cos \theta}} = \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos \theta}{1 + \cos \theta}}$
Using trigonometric identities $1 - \cos \theta = 2 \sin^2(\frac{\theta}{2})$ and $1 + \cos \theta = 2 \cos^2(\frac{\theta}{2})$:
$y = \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{2 \sin^2(\frac{\theta}{2})}{2 \cos^2(\frac{\theta}{2})}} = \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\tan^2(\frac{\theta}{2})} = \frac{\theta}{2}$
Substituting $\theta$ back:
$y = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(\frac{x}{a})$
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{x}{a})^2}} \right) \cdot \frac{1}{a}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{a^2 - x^2}{a^2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{a} = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} \cdot \frac{1}{a} = -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}$.

(A) Given $f(x) = \cot^{-1} \left( \frac{x^x - x^{-x}}{2} \right)$.
Let $x^x = \tan \theta$. Then $x^{-x} = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = \cot \theta$.
Substituting this into the expression for $f(x)$:
$f(x) = \cot^{-1} \left( \frac{\tan \theta - \cot \theta}{2} \right) = \cot^{-1} \left( \frac{\tan^2 \theta - 1}{2 \tan \theta} \right)$.
Using the identity $\cot 2\theta = \frac{1 - \tan^2 \theta}{2 \tan \theta}$,we have $\frac{\tan^2 \theta - 1}{2 \tan \theta} = -\cot 2\theta$.
So,$f(x) = \cot^{-1} (-\cot 2\theta) = \pi - \cot^{-1} (\cot 2\theta) = \pi - 2\theta$.
Since $\tan \theta = x^x$,we have $\theta = \tan^{-1}(x^x)$.
Thus,$f(x) = \pi - 2 \tan^{-1}(x^x)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$f'(x) = -2 \cdot \frac{1}{1 + (x^x)^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^x)$.
We know $\frac{d}{dx}(x^x) = x^x(1 + \log x)$.
So,$f'(x) = -2 \cdot \frac{x^x(1 + \log x)}{1 + x^{2x}}$.
At $x = 1$,$f'(1) = -2 \cdot \frac{1^1(1 + \log 1)}{1 + 1^2} = -2 \cdot \frac{1(1 + 0)}{2} = -1$.

(B) Let $y = \sin^2 \cot^{-1} \left( \sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}} \right)$.
Put $x = \cos \theta$,so $\theta = \cos^{-1} x$.
Then $y = \sin^2 \cot^{-1} \left( \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \theta}{1+\cos \theta}} \right) = \sin^2 \cot^{-1} \left( \tan \frac{\theta}{2} \right)$.
Since $\cot^{-1}(\tan \alpha) = \frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha$,we have $y = \sin^2 \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\theta}{2} \right) = \cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2}$.
Using the identity $\cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{1+\cos \theta}{2}$,we get $y = \frac{1+x}{2} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{x}{2}$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$,we get $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{x}{2} \right) = \frac{1}{2}$.

(A) Given $y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{x}{1 + \sqrt{1 - x^2}} \right)$.
Substitute $x = \sin \theta$,where $\theta = \sin^{-1} x$.
Then $y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\sin \theta}{1 + \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \theta}} \right) = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\sin \theta}{1 + \cos \theta} \right)$.
Using trigonometric identities $\sin \theta = 2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}$ and $1 + \cos \theta = 2 \cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2}$,we get:
$y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}{2 \cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2}} \right) = \tan^{-1}\left( \tan \frac{\theta}{2} \right) = \frac{\theta}{2}$.
Substituting $\theta = \sin^{-1} x$,we have $y = \frac{1}{2} \sin^{-1} x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$.

(C) Given $y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \right)$.
Let $x = \sin \theta$,then $\theta = \sin^{-1} x$.
Substituting $x = \sin \theta$ in the expression for $y$:
$y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \theta}} \right)$
$y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \right)$
$y = \tan^{-1}(\tan \theta) = \theta$
Since $\theta = \sin^{-1} x$,we have $y = \sin^{-1} x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin^{-1} x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$.

(C) Given $y = \sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1 - x^2}{1 + x^2} \right)$.
Let $x = \tan \theta$,then $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.
Substituting this into the expression,we get $y = \sin^{-1}(\cos 2\theta)$.
Since $\cos 2\theta = \sin\left( \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\theta \right)$ or $\sin\left( 2\theta - \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$,we have $y = \frac{\pi}{2} \pm 2\theta$.
Substituting $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$,we get $y = \frac{\pi}{2} \pm 2 \tan^{-1} x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$,we get $\frac{dy}{dx} = \pm 2 \cdot \frac{1}{1 + x^2} = \pm \frac{2}{1 + x^2}$.

(C) Let $y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\sqrt{1+x} - \sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt{1+x} + \sqrt{1-x}} \right)$.
Put $x = \cos 2\theta$,which implies $\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cos^{-1}x$.
Substituting $x$ into the expression:
$y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\sqrt{1+\cos 2\theta} - \sqrt{1-\cos 2\theta}}{\sqrt{1+\cos 2\theta} + \sqrt{1-\cos 2\theta}} \right)$
Using trigonometric identities $1+\cos 2\theta = 2\cos^2\theta$ and $1-\cos 2\theta = 2\sin^2\theta$:
$y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\sqrt{2\cos^2\theta} - \sqrt{2\sin^2\theta}}{\sqrt{2\cos^2\theta} + \sqrt{2\sin^2\theta}} \right) = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\cos\theta - \sin\theta}{\cos\theta + \sin\theta} \right)$
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\cos\theta$:
$y = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{1 - \tan\theta}{1 + \tan\theta} \right) = \tan^{-1}(\tan(\pi/4 - \theta))$
Thus,$y = \frac{\pi}{4} - \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2}\cos^{-1}x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 - \frac{1}{2} \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \right) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}}$.

(B) Let $y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{1 + x^2} - 1}{x} \right)$.
Substitute $x = \tan \theta$,then $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.
$y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{1 + \tan^2 \theta} - 1}{\tan \theta} \right) = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sec \theta - 1}{\tan \theta} \right)$.
Using trigonometric identities,$\frac{\sec \theta - 1}{\tan \theta} = \frac{1 - \cos \theta}{\sin \theta} = \frac{2 \sin^2(\theta/2)}{2 \sin(\theta/2) \cos(\theta/2)} = \tan(\theta/2)$.
Thus,$y = \tan^{-1}(\tan(\theta/2)) = \frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \tan^{-1} x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$,we get $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{1 + x^2} = \frac{1}{2(1 + x^2)}$.

(D) Let $y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)$.
To differentiate $y$ with respect to $x$,we use the chain rule: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{1-x}{1+x})^2}} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{(1+x)^2 - (1-x)^2}{(1+x)^2}}} \cdot \frac{-(1+x) - (1-x)}{(1+x)^2} = \frac{1+x}{\sqrt{4x}} \cdot \frac{-2}{(1+x)^2} = \frac{-2}{2\sqrt{x}(1+x)} = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)}$.
Now,let $z = \sqrt{x}$. Then $\frac{dz}{dx} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$.
We need to find $\frac{dy}{dz} = \frac{dy/dx}{dz/dx} = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} \div \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} \cdot 2\sqrt{x} = \frac{-2}{1+x}$.
Since this result is not among the options $A$,$B$,or $C$,the correct option is $D$.

(A) Let ${y_1} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - 1}}{x}} \right)$ and ${y_2} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x$.
Substitute $x = \tan \theta$,so $\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x$.
Then ${y_1} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta } - 1}}{{\tan \theta }}} \right) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sec \theta - 1}}{{\tan \theta }}} \right) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 - \cos \theta }}{{\sin \theta }}} \right) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\tan \frac{\theta }{2}} \right) = \frac{\theta }{2} = \frac{1}{2}{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$.
Now,differentiate ${y_1}$ with respect to ${y_2} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x$:
$\frac{{d{y_1}}}{{d{y_2}}} = \frac{d}{{d{y_2}}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}{y_2}} \right) = \frac{1}{2}$.

(D) Let $y_1 = \tan^{-1}\sqrt{x}$ and $y_2 = \sqrt{x}$.
Differentiating $y_1$ with respect to $x$ using the chain rule:
$\frac{dy_1}{dx} = \frac{1}{1+(\sqrt{x})^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{x}) = \frac{1}{1+x} \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$.
Differentiating $y_2$ with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy_2}{dx} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$.
Now,the differential coefficient of $y_1$ with respect to $y_2$ is given by:
$\frac{dy_1}{dy_2} = \frac{dy_1/dx}{dy_2/dx} = \frac{\frac{1}{1+x} \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}}{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}} = \frac{1}{1+x}$.
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

(D) Let $y = {\sec ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{{2{x^2} - 1}}} \right) = {\cos ^{ - 1}}(2{x^2} - 1)$.
Using the substitution $x = \cos \theta$,we get $y = {\cos ^{ - 1}}(\cos 2\theta) = 2\theta = 2{\cos ^{ - 1}}x$.
Now,let $z = \sqrt {1 + 3x} $.
We need to find $\frac{{dy}}{{dz}} = \frac{{dy/dx}}{{dz/dx}}$.
Calculating the derivatives:
$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2 \times \left( { - \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}} \right) = - \frac{2}{{\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}$.
$\frac{{dz}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{{2\sqrt {1 + 3x} }} \times 3 = \frac{3}{{2\sqrt {1 + 3x} }}$.
At $x = - \frac{1}{3}$,the term $\sqrt {1 + 3x} = \sqrt {1 + 3(-1/3)} = \sqrt 0 = 0$.
Since $\frac{{dz}}{{dx}}$ involves division by $\sqrt {1 + 3x}$,the derivative $\frac{{dz}}{{dx}}$ is undefined at $x = - \frac{1}{3}$.
However,evaluating the limit or observing the function behavior,the derivative of the composition at the boundary point where the denominator of the second function becomes zero is typically considered $0$ in this specific context of multiple-choice questions where the derivative of the numerator is finite and the denominator approaches infinity.
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

(A) Let $y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{1 - {x^2}}}{{1 + {x^2}}}} $ and $z = {\cos ^{ - 1}}({x^2})$.
Substitute ${x^2} = \cos 2\theta $,where $0 \le \theta \le \pi/2$.
Then $y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{1 - \cos 2\theta }}{{1 + \cos 2\theta }}} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{2{{\sin }^2}\theta }}{{2{{\cos }^2}\theta }}} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(\tan \theta ) = \theta $.
Also,$z = {\cos ^{ - 1}}(\cos 2\theta ) = 2\theta $.
We need to find $\frac{{dy}}{{dz}}$.
Since $y = \theta $ and $z = 2\theta $,we have $\frac{{dy}}{{d\theta }} = 1$ and $\frac{{dz}}{{d\theta }} = 2$.
Therefore,$\frac{{dy}}{{dz}} = \frac{{dy/d\theta }}{{dz/d\theta }} = \frac{1}{2}$.

(A) Let $y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{x}{{1 + \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}} \right)$ and $z = {\sin ^{ - 1}}x$.
Substitute $x = \sin \theta$,where $\theta = {\sin ^{ - 1}}x$.
Then $y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sin \theta }}{{1 + \cos \theta }}} \right)$.
Using the trigonometric identities $\sin \theta = 2\sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}$ and $1 + \cos \theta = 2\cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2}$,we get:
$y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2\sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}}{{2\cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2}}}} \right) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\tan \frac{\theta}{2}} \right) = \frac{\theta}{2}$.
Since $\theta = {\sin ^{ - 1}}x$,we have $y = \frac{1}{2}{\sin ^{ - 1}}x$.
Now,we need to find the derivative of $y$ with respect to $z$:
$\frac{{dy}}{{dz}} = \frac{d}{{dz}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}z} \right) = \frac{1}{2}$.
Thus,the differential coefficient is $\frac{1}{2}$.

(C) Let ${y_1} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 - {x^2}}}{{1 + {x^2}}}} \right)$.
Using the substitution $x = \tan \theta$,we get ${y_1} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}(\cos 2\theta) = 2\theta = 2{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$.
Thus,$\frac{{d{y_1}}}{{dx}} = \frac{2}{{1 + {x^2}}}$.
Let ${y_2} = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 - 3{x^2}}}{{3x - {x^3}}}} \right)$.
Using the substitution $x = \tan \theta$,we get ${y_2} = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 - 3\tan^2 \theta}}{{3\tan \theta - \tan^3 \theta}}} \right) = {\cot ^{ - 1}}(\cot 3\theta) = 3\theta = 3{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$.
Thus,$\frac{{d{y_2}}}{{dx}} = \frac{3}{{1 + {x^2}}}$.
Therefore,the derivative of ${y_1}$ with respect to ${y_2}$ is $\frac{{d{y_1}}}{{d{y_2}}} = \frac{{d{y_1}/dx}}{{d{y_2}/dx}} = \frac{2/(1 + {x^2})}{3/(1 + {x^2})} = \frac{2}{3}$.

(D) Let $y = \tan^{-1} \left[ \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{\cos x + \sin x} \right]$.
Divide the numerator and denominator by $\cos x$:
$y = \tan^{-1} \left[ \frac{1 - \tan x}{1 + \tan x} \right]$.
Using the trigonometric identity $\tan(\frac{\pi}{4} - x) = \frac{\tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) - \tan x}{1 + \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) \tan x} = \frac{1 - \tan x}{1 + \tan x}$:
$y = \tan^{-1} [\tan(\frac{\pi}{4} - x)]$.
Since $\tan^{-1}(\tan \theta) = \theta$ for the appropriate range:
$y = \frac{\pi}{4} - x$.
Now,differentiate with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} (\frac{\pi}{4} - x) = 0 - 1 = -1$.

(A) Given $y = \cot^{-1}(\sqrt{\cos 2x})$.
Using the chain rule,$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{1 + (\sqrt{\cos 2x})^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{\cos 2x})$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{1 + \cos 2x} \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{\cos 2x}} \cdot (-\sin 2x \cdot 2)$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin 2x}{(1 + \cos 2x)\sqrt{\cos 2x}}$.
Using the identities $\sin 2x = 2\sin x \cos x$ and $1 + \cos 2x = 2\cos^2 x$,we get:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2\sin x \cos x}{2\cos^2 x \sqrt{\cos 2x}} = \frac{\tan x}{\sqrt{\cos 2x}}$.
At $x = \frac{\pi}{6}$,$\tan(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $\cos 2(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{1}{2}$.
Substituting these values: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1/\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{1/2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{1/2}$.

(A) Let $y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{1 + x^2} + \sqrt{1 - x^2}}{\sqrt{1 + x^2} - \sqrt{1 - x^2}} \right)$.
Substitute $x^2 = \cos 2\theta$,which implies $2\theta = \cos^{-1}(x^2)$ or $\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$.
Then,$\sqrt{1 + x^2} = \sqrt{1 + \cos 2\theta} = \sqrt{2 \cos^2 \theta} = \sqrt{2} \cos \theta$ and $\sqrt{1 - x^2} = \sqrt{1 - \cos 2\theta} = \sqrt{2 \sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{2} \sin \theta$.
Substituting these into the expression:
$y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{2} \cos \theta + \sqrt{2} \sin \theta}{\sqrt{2} \cos \theta - \sqrt{2} \sin \theta} \right) = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\cos \theta + \sin \theta}{\cos \theta - \sin \theta} \right)$.
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\cos \theta$:
$y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1 + \tan \theta}{1 - \tan \theta} \right) = \tan^{-1} \left( \tan \left( \frac{\pi}{4} + \theta \right) \right) = \frac{\pi}{4} + \theta$.
Substituting back $\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$:
$y = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{-1}{\sqrt{1 - (x^2)^2}} \right) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{-1}{\sqrt{1 - x^4}} \right) \cdot 2x = \frac{-x}{\sqrt{1 - x^4}}$.

(C) Let $x^3 = \sin \theta$ and $y^3 = \sin \phi$.
Then the equation becomes $\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \theta} + \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \phi} = a^3(\sin \theta - \sin \phi)$.
This simplifies to $\cos \theta + \cos \phi = a^3(\sin \theta - \sin \phi)$.
Using trigonometric identities,$2 \cos \frac{\theta + \phi}{2} \cos \frac{\theta - \phi}{2} = 2 a^3 \sin \frac{\theta - \phi}{2} \cos \frac{\theta + \phi}{2}$.
This implies $\cos \frac{\theta + \phi}{2} [\cos \frac{\theta - \phi}{2} - a^3 \sin \frac{\theta - \phi}{2}] = 0$.
If $\cos \frac{\theta + \phi}{2} = 0$,then $\theta + \phi = \pi$,which leads to $x^3 = \sin \theta = \sin(\pi - \phi) = \sin \phi = y^3$,so $x = y$. Substituting $x = y$ into the original equation gives $2\sqrt{1-x^6} = 0$,which is not true for all $x$.
Thus,we must have $\cos \frac{\theta - \phi}{2} - a^3 \sin \frac{\theta - \phi}{2} = 0$,or $\cot \frac{\theta - \phi}{2} = a^3$.
This means $\theta - \phi = 2 \cot^{-1}(a^3)$,or $\sin^{-1}(x^3) - \sin^{-1}(y^3) = 2 \cot^{-1}(a^3)$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:
$\frac{3x^2}{\sqrt{1 - x^6}} - \frac{3y^2}{\sqrt{1 - y^6}} \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$.
Solving for $\frac{dy}{dx}$,we get $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x^2}{y^2} \sqrt{\frac{1 - y^6}{1 - x^6}}$.

(A) Let $\theta = a + b \cos(x - \alpha)$. The given expression is $y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2 - b^2}} \cos^{-1} \left( \frac{a \cos(x - \alpha) + b}{\theta} \right)$.
Taking $\cos$ on both sides: $\cos(y \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}) = \frac{a \cos(x - \alpha) + b}{a + b \cos(x - \alpha)}$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:
$-\sqrt{a^2 - b^2} \sin(y \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}) \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{a \cos(x - \alpha) + b}{a + b \cos(x - \alpha)} \right)$.
Using the quotient rule,the derivative of the right side is $\frac{-a \sin(x - \alpha)(a + b \cos(x - \alpha)) - (a \cos(x - \alpha) + b)(-b \sin(x - \alpha))}{(a + b \cos(x - \alpha))^2} = \frac{-(a^2 - b^2) \sin(x - \alpha)}{\theta^2}$.
Thus,$-\sqrt{a^2 - b^2} \sin(y \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}) \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-(a^2 - b^2) \sin(x - \alpha)}{\theta^2}$.
Simplifying,$\sin(y \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}) \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{a^2 - b^2} \sin(x - \alpha)}{\theta^2}$.
Since $\sin(y \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}) = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2(y \sqrt{a^2 - b^2})} = \sqrt{1 - \left( \frac{a \cos(x - \alpha) + b}{\theta} \right)^2} = \frac{\sqrt{\theta^2 - (a \cos(x - \alpha) + b)^2}}{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{a^2 - b^2} \sin(x - \alpha)}{\theta}$.
Substituting this back: $\left( \frac{\sqrt{a^2 - b^2} \sin(x - \alpha)}{\theta} \right) \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{a^2 - b^2} \sin(x - \alpha)}{\theta^2}$.
Therefore,$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\theta} = \frac{1}{a + b \cos(x - \alpha)}$.

(D) Let $t = \frac{2x + 3}{3 - 2x}$. Then $y = f(t)$.
By the chain rule,$\frac{dy}{dx} = f'(t) \cdot \frac{dt}{dx}$.
Given $f'(x) = \sin(\log x)$,so $f'(t) = \sin(\log t) = \sin\left(\log \frac{2x + 3}{3 - 2x}\right)$.
Now,calculate $\frac{dt}{dx}$ using the quotient rule:
$\frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{(3 - 2x)(2) - (2x + 3)(-2)}{(3 - 2x)^2} = \frac{6 - 4x + 4x + 6}{(3 - 2x)^2} = \frac{12}{(3 - 2x)^2}$.
Therefore,$\frac{dy}{dx} = \sin\left(\log \frac{2x + 3}{3 - 2x}\right) \cdot \frac{12}{(3 - 2x)^2}$.
Comparing this with the given options,none of them match the result. Thus,the correct option is $(d)$.

(B) Let ${y_1} = {\sec ^{ - 1}}\left( \frac{1}{{2{x^2} - 1}} \right)$ and ${y_2} = \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} $.
Using the substitution $x = \cos \theta$,we have ${y_1} = {\sec ^{ - 1}}\left( \frac{1}{{2\cos^2 \theta - 1}} \right) = {\sec ^{ - 1}}(\sec 2\theta) = 2\theta = 2\cos^{-1}x$.
Now,differentiate ${y_1}$ with respect to $x$: $\frac{{d{y_1}}}{{dx}} = 2 \times \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \right) = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$.
Differentiate ${y_2}$ with respect to $x$: $\frac{{d{y_2}}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}} \times (-2x) = -\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$.
Therefore,the differential coefficient is $\frac{{d{y_1}}}{{d{y_2}}} = \frac{d{y_1}/dx}{d{y_2}/dx} = \frac{-2/\sqrt{1-x^2}}{-x/\sqrt{1-x^2}} = \frac{2}{x}$.
At $x = \frac{1}{2}$,$\frac{{d{y_1}}}{{d{y_2}}} = \frac{2}{1/2} = 4$.

(D) Let $L = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \int_{4}^{f(x)} \frac{2t \, dt}{x - 1}$.
Since $f(1) = 4$,as $x \rightarrow 1$,the integral becomes $\int_{4}^{4} \frac{2t \, dt}{0}$,which is an indeterminate form of type $\frac{0}{0}$.
We apply $L$'$H$ôpital's rule and the Leibniz integral rule:
$L = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \int_{4}^{f(x)} 2t \, dt}{\frac{d}{dx} (x - 1)}$
Using the Leibniz rule,$\frac{d}{dx} \int_{4}^{f(x)} 2t \, dt = 2f(x) \cdot f'(x)$.
So,$L = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{2f(x) \cdot f'(x)}{1}$.
Substituting $x = 1$,we get $L = 2f(1) \cdot f'(1)$.
Given $f(1) = 4$,we have $L = 2(4) \cdot f'(1) = 8f'(1)$.

(C) Let $L = \lim_{x \to 2} \int_{2}^{f(x)} \frac{4t^3}{x - 2} dt$.
Since $f(2) = 2$,as $x \to 2$,the integral becomes $\int_{2}^{2} \frac{4t^3}{0} dt$,which is an indeterminate form of type $\frac{0}{0}$.
We apply $L$'Hopital's rule and Leibniz's rule for differentiation under the integral sign:
$L = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \int_{2}^{f(x)} 4t^3 dt}{\frac{d}{dx} (x - 2)}$.
Using Leibniz's rule: $\frac{d}{dx} \int_{2}^{f(x)} 4t^3 dt = 4(f(x))^3 \cdot f'(x)$.
The denominator is $\frac{d}{dx} (x - 2) = 1$.
Thus,$L = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{4(f(x))^3 \cdot f'(x)}{1}$.
Substituting $x = 2$: $L = 4(f(2))^3 \cdot f'(2)$.
Given $f(2) = 2$,we have $L = 4(2)^3 \cdot f'(2) = 4(8) \cdot f'(2) = 32 f'(2)$.

(C) Given $y = \sin^{-1}(\frac{2x}{1 + x^2})$.
Let $x = \tan \theta$,then $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.
Since $x = -2$,we have $\theta = \tan^{-1}(-2)$.
The expression becomes $y = \sin^{-1}(\frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}) = \sin^{-1}(\sin 2\theta)$.
For $x = -2$,$\theta = \tan^{-1}(-2)$,which lies in the interval $(-\frac{\pi}{2}, 0)$. Thus $2\theta \in (-\pi, 0)$.
Since $\sin^{-1}(\sin 2\theta)$ for $2\theta \in (-\pi, -\frac{\pi}{2})$ is $-\pi - 2\theta$ and for $2\theta \in [-\frac{\pi}{2}, 0]$ is $2\theta$,we check the value: $\tan^{-1}(-2) \approx -63.4^\circ$,so $2\theta \approx -126.8^\circ$.
Thus,$y = -\pi - 2\theta = -\pi - 2\tan^{-1} x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2}{1 + x^2}$.
At $x = -2$:
$\left. \frac{dy}{dx} \right|_{x = -2} = -\frac{2}{1 + (-2)^2} = -\frac{2}{1 + 4} = -\frac{2}{5}$.

(A) Let $u = \sec^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{2x^2 - 1} \right) = \cos^{-1}(2x^2 - 1)$.
Substitute $x = \cos \theta$,then $u = \cos^{-1}(2\cos^2 \theta - 1) = \cos^{-1}(\cos 2\theta) = 2\theta = 2\cos^{-1} x$.
Thus,$\frac{du}{dx} = 2 \times \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \right) = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$.
Let $v = \sqrt{1 - x^2}$.
Then $\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \times (-2x) = -\frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$.
Now,$\frac{du}{dv} = \frac{du/dx}{dv/dx} = \frac{-2/\sqrt{1 - x^2}}{-x/\sqrt{1 - x^2}} = \frac{2}{x}$.
At $x = \frac{1}{2}$,$\frac{du}{dv} = \frac{2}{1/2} = 4$.

(D) Let $L = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{f(4) - f(x^2)}{2 - x}$.
Since the limit is of the form $\frac{0}{0}$ as $x \to 2$,we apply $L$'$H$ôpital's Rule.
Differentiating the numerator and denominator with respect to $x$:
$L = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{\frac{d}{dx}(f(4) - f(x^2))}{\frac{d}{dx}(2 - x)}$
$L = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{0 - f'(x^2) \cdot (2x)}{-1}$
$L = \lim_{x \to 2} (2x \cdot f'(x^2))$
Substituting $x = 2$:
$L = 2(2) \cdot f'(2^2) = 4 \cdot f'(4)$
Given $f'(4) = 5$,we have:
$L = 4 \cdot 5 = 20$.

(B) The general term of the series is $T_r = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{x^2 + (2r-1)x + (r^2-r+1)}\right)$.
We can rewrite the argument as $\frac{(x+r) - (x+r-1)}{1 + (x+r)(x+r-1)}$.
Using the formula $\tan^{-1}(A) - \tan^{-1}(B) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{A-B}{1+AB}\right)$,we get $T_r = \tan^{-1}(x+r) - \tan^{-1}(x+r-1)$.
Summing up to $n$ terms:
$y = \sum_{r=1}^{n} (\tan^{-1}(x+r) - \tan^{-1}(x+r-1)) = \tan^{-1}(x+n) - \tan^{-1}(x)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}(x+n)) - \frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}(x)) = \frac{1}{1 + (x+n)^2} - \frac{1}{1 + x^2}$.

(B) Let $u = \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}$ and $v = \sin^{-1} x$.
Substitute $x = \cos \theta$,where $\theta = \cos^{-1} x$.
Then $\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}} = \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \theta}{1+\cos \theta}} = \sqrt{\frac{2\sin^2(\theta/2)}{2\cos^2(\theta/2)}} = \tan(\theta/2)$.
So,$u = \tan^{-1}(\tan(\theta/2)) = \frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1} x$.
Since $\cos^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{-1} x$,we have $u = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\pi}{2} - v) = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2} v$.
Now,differentiate $u$ with respect to $v$:
$\frac{du}{dv} = \frac{d}{dv} (\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2} v) = -\frac{1}{2}$.
