${d \over {dx}}[{\tan ^{ - 1}}(\cot x) + {\cot ^{ - 1}}(\tan x)] = $
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $-1$
  • $-2$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$-2$
d
(d) $\frac{d}{{dx}}[{\tan ^{ - 1}}(\cot x) + {\cot ^{ - 1}}(\tan x)]$

=$\frac{{1( - {\rm{cose}}{{\rm{c}}^2}x)}}{{1 + {{\cot }^2}x}} - \frac{{1({{\sec }^2}x)}}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}x}} = - 1 - 1 = - 2$.
