Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(f(x)=\cos ^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{\sqrt{13}}(2 \cos x-3 \sin x)\right\}\)
\(\Rightarrow f(x)=\cos ^{-1}\left\{\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} \cos x-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \sin x\right\}\)



\(\Rightarrow \quad f(x)=\cos ^{-1}\{\cos \alpha \cdot \cos x-\sin \alpha \cdot \sin x\}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
&=\cos ^{-1}\{\cos (x+\alpha)\} \\
&=x+\alpha
\end{aligned}\)
On differentiating w.r.t. \(x\), we get
\(\begin{aligned}
f^{\prime}(x) &=1=\text { constant value } \\
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(0.5) &=1
\end{aligned}\)
