Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{\left(1+\tan ^{-1} x\right)^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(u = \tan^{-1} x\). The expression becomes \(\frac{u}{1+u}\). The derivative with respect to \(u\) is \(\frac{d}{du}\left(\frac{u}{1+u}\right) = \frac{1 \cdot (1+u) - u \cdot 1}{(1+u)^2} = \frac{1}{(1+u)^2}\). Substituting back \(u = \tan^{-1} x\), the derivative is…
