The derivative of \( \cos ^{-1}\left(2 x^{2}-1\right) \) w.r.t \( \cos ^{-1} x \) is

  1. A \( 12 \)
  2. B \( -\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{1-x^{2}}} \)
  3. C \( \frac{2}{x} \)
  4. D \( 1-x^{2} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 12 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \( y=\cos ^{-1}\left(2 x^{2} \quad 1\right)=2 \cos ^{-1} x \) and \( z=\cos ^{-1} x \)
So, \( \frac{d y}{d z}=\frac{d\left(2 \cos ^{-1} x\right)}{d \cos ^{-1} \chi}=2 \)
