Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{2} \tan ^{-1} x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x = \tan \theta\). \(\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1+\tan^2 \theta}-1}{\tan \theta}\right)\) \(\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{\sec^2 \theta}-1}{\tan \theta}\right)\) \(\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sec \theta-1}{\tan \theta}\right)\)…
