  1. A 1,0
  2. B \(\frac{x}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2}, 0\)
  4. D \(\frac{-1}{2}, 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{2}, 0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(y=\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos x}{1+\cos x}}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad y=\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{2 \sin ^2 x / 2}{2 \cos ^2 x / 2}}=\tan ^{-1}(\tan x / 2)\) \(\Rightarrow \quad y=x / 2 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=0\)
