y=sec-1x+1x-1+sin-1 x-1x+1
= cos-1 x-1x+1 +sin-1 x-1x+1
=Î /2
so dy/dx=0
see differentiation of sec-1x = - x√1-x2 and
differentiation of sin-1x = 1√1-x2
use this property and chain rule ......
i thnk u will get ur answer
sec -1 x - 1x + 1 = cos -1 x - 1x + 1 , only when , -1 ≤ x - 1x + 1 ≤ 1 , whuch may not hold for any x .
no as gallardo mentioned
sibal is correct only when particular interval is mentioned
