Answer

\[y'=\sec x\]

Work Step by Step

It is given that\[y=\sinh^{-1} (\tan x)\;\;\;...(1)\] We will use the formula \[\frac{d}{dx}(\sinh^{-1} x)'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\;\;\;...(2)\] Differentiating (1) with respect to $x$ Using (2) \[y'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\tan^2 x}}\cdot(\tan x)'\] \[y'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\tan^2 x}}\cdot(\sec^2 x)\] \[y'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\sec^2 x}}\cdot(\sec^2 x)\] \[\Rightarrow y'=\sec x\] Hence , \[y'=\sec x\]
