The correct option (a) 0
Explanation:
Let y = sec–1 [1/(2x2 – 1)] = cos–1(2x2 – 1)
∴ (dy/dx) =[(– 1)/(√1 – (2x2 – 1)2)](4x)
= [(– 4x)/(√1 – 4x4 + 4x2 – 1)]
∴ (dy/dx) = [(– 2)/(√1 – x2)]
also Let z = √(1 + 3x)
∴ (dz/dx) = [1/(2√{1 + 3x})] (3)
∴ (dy/dz) = [(dy/dx)/(dz/dx)]
∴ (dy/dz) = [(– 2)/(√1 – x2)] ∙ [{2√(1 + 3x)}/3]
∴ (dy/dz)at x=–(1/3) = 0
