${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - 1}}{x}} \right) = $
  • A
    ${\tan ^{ - 1}}x$
  • $\frac{1}{2}{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$
  • C
    $2{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{2}{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$
b
(b) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - 1}}{x}} \right) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta } - 1}}{{\tan \theta }}} \right]$

(Putting $x = \tan \theta )$

$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\sec \theta - 1}}{{\tan \theta }}} \right] = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{1 - \cos \theta }}{{\sin \theta }}} \right]$

$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{2\,{{\sin }^2}\frac{\theta }{2}}}{{2\,\sin \frac{\theta }{2}\cos \frac{\theta }{2}}}} \right]$

$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}} (\tan \frac{\theta }{2} )= \frac{\theta }{2} = \frac{1}{2}{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$.
