Answer

\[y'=\frac{-1}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}}\]

Work Step by Step

\[y=arc\tan\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}\] Put $x=\cos 2z\;\;\;...(1)$ \[arc\tan\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}=arc\tan\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos 2z}{1+\cos 2z}}\] \[arc\tan\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}=arc\tan\sqrt{\frac{2\sin^2 z}{2\cos^2 z}}\] \[arc\tan\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}=arc\tan\sqrt{\tan z}\] \[arc\tan\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}=z\] Using (1) \[arc\tan\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}=\frac{1}{2}\cos^{-1}x\] \[\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}\cos^{-1}x\;\;\;...(2)\] Differentiate (2) with respect to $x$ \[y'=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\right)\] Hence \[y'=\frac{-1}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}}\]
