NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 5 Continuity And Differentiability · Exercise 5.3 Question 9

Differentiate y=sin⁻¹(2x/(1+x²)).
Principal inverse creates corners at ±1
Principal inverse creates corners at ±1

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
  2. Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: y′=2/(1+x²) for |x|<1; −2/(1+x²) for |x|>1; undefined at x=±1.
  1. Put u=2x/(1+x²). Then u′=2(1−x²)/(1+x²)² and √(1−u²)=|1−x²|/(1+x²).
  2. For x≠±1, y′=2(1−x²)/[(1+x²)|1−x²|]. This is positive inside (−1,1) and negative outside.
  3. At each of ±1 the one-sided slopes have opposite signs, so no derivative exists there.
