Solution

The correct option is D $\frac{- 1}{1 + x^{2}}$
We use chain rule here.
$\frac{d}{d x} {tan}^{- 1} (\frac{1 - x}{1 + x}) = \frac{(1 + x)^{2}}{(1 + x)^{2} + (1 - x)^{2}} \times \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1 - x}{1 + x}) = \frac{(1 + x)^{2}}{(1 + x)^{2} + (1 - x)^{2}} \times \frac{- 2}{(1 + x)^{2}} = - \frac{2}{(1 - x)^{2} + (1 + x)^{2}} = - \frac{1}{1 + x^{2}}$
So option $B$ is the right answer.

ddxtan−1(1−x1+x)= ____________.

The correct option is D −11+x2We use chain rule here.ddxtan−1(1−x1+x)=(1+x)2(1+x)2+(1−x)2×ddx(1−x1+x)=(1+x)2(1+x)2+(1−x)2×−2(1+x)2=−2(1−x)2+(1+x)2=−11+x2So option B is the right answer.
