MCQ
If $f(x) = x\, {\tan ^{ - 1}}x$, then $f'(1) =$
  • A
    $1 + {\pi \over 4}$
  • ${1 \over 2} + {\pi \over 4}$
  • C
    ${1 \over 2} - {\pi \over 4}$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
${1 \over 2} + {\pi \over 4}$
b
(b) $f(x) = x\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$

Differentiating w.r.t  $ x,$ we get $f'(x) = x\frac{1}{{1 + {x^2}}} +{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$

Now put $x = 1$, then $f'(1) = \frac{1}{2} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(1) = \frac{\pi }{4} + \frac{1}{2}$.
