JEE Main 2026 — 4 April, Morning Shift — Question 39

If y=tan−1((3cosx−4sinx)/(4cosx+3sinx))+2tan⁡−1(x1+1−x2)y = tan⁻¹((3cosx-4sinx)/(4cosx+3sinx)) + 2 \tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{1+\sqrt{1-x²}}), then dy/dxdy/dx at x=3/2x = \sqrt3/2 is equal to :

  1. Option A:

    3

  2. Option B:

    -1

  3. Option C:

    1

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    2

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

y=tan⁡−1(34−tan⁡x1+34tan⁡x)+2tan⁡−1(x1+1−x2)y=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{3}{4}-\tan x}{1+\frac{3}{4} \tan x}\right)+2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{1+\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}\right) For 2tan⁡−1(x1+1−x2)2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{1+\sqrt{1-\mathrm{x}^{2}}}\right) put x=sin⁡θ\mathrm{x}=\sin \theta ∴2tan⁡−1(sin⁡θ1+cos⁡θ)=θ=sin⁡−1x\therefore 2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sin \theta}{1+\cos \theta}\right)=\theta=\sin ^{-1} \mathrm{x} Hence y=tan⁡−1(34)−tan⁡−1(tan⁡x)+sin⁡−1xy=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)-\tan ^{-1}(\tan x)+\sin ^{-1} x dydx=−1+11−x2\frac{d y}{d x}=-1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} x=32\mathrm{x}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} dydx=−1+2=1\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=-1+2=1
