Question:medium

If \[ y=\tan^{-1}\!\left(\frac{\sqrt{1+9x^{2}}-1}{3x}\right), \] then \[ \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)_{x=\frac1{\sqrt3}} = \]

Show Hint

Whenever an inverse trigonometric function contains an expression of the form \[ \frac{\sqrt{1+a^{2}x^{2}}-1}{ax}, \] first rationalize the numerator. The resulting expression becomes much easier to differentiate using the chain rule.
