  • $\frac{\pi }{4} + \frac{1}{2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}{x^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi }{4} + {\cos ^{ - 1}}{x^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi }{4} + \frac{1}{2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}x$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi }{4} - \frac{1}{2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}{x^2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{\pi }{4} + \frac{1}{2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}{x^2}$
a
(a) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} + \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}} \right]$

$ = {\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]$

(Putting ${x^2} = \cos 2\theta \Rightarrow \theta = \frac{1}{2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}{x^2})$

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

$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{1 + \tan \theta }}{{1 - \tan \theta }}} \right] = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\tan \frac{\pi }{4} + \tan \theta }}{{1 - \tan \frac{\pi }{4}\tan \theta }}} \right]$

$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\tan \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + \theta } \right) = \frac{\pi }{4} + \theta = \frac{\pi }{4} + \frac{1}{2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}{x^2}$.
