Visualized Solution
Analyze y=tan−1(…)
Given function: y=tan−1(1−9x36xx)
Goal: Find dxdy and compare with x⋅g(x)
Observation: The expression inside resembles a known trigonometric identity.
Rewrite the Numerator 6xx
Focus on the numerator: 6xx
We know xx=x1⋅x21=x23
Rewrite: 6xx=2(3x23)
Rewrite the Denominator 1−9x3
Focus on the denominator: 1−9x3
Notice that 9x3 is a perfect square of 3x23
Rewrite: 1−9x3=1−(3x23)2
Introduce Substitution u=3x23
Let u=3x23
The expression transforms into: 1−u22u
Apply Identity for 1−u22u
Recall the identity: tan−1(1−u22u)=2tan−1(u)
Condition: ∣u∣<1
For x∈(0,41), u=3x23∈(0,83), which satisfies ∣u∣<1
Simplified function: y=2tan−1(3x23)
Differentiate using Chain Rule
Differentiate y=2tan−1(u) with respect to x
Chain Rule: dxdy=2⋅1+u21⋅dxdu
Substitute u back: dxdy=1+(3x23)22⋅dxd(3x23)
Calculate Inner Derivative dxdu
Apply Power Rule: dxd(xn)=nxn−1
dxd(3x23)=3⋅23⋅x23−1
Simplify: 29x21=29x
Final Simplification of dxdy
Combine the parts: dxdy=1+9x32⋅29x
Cancel the common factor 2: dxdy=1+9x39x
Rewrite to match target form: x⋅(1+9x39)
Compare and Conclude g(x)
Compare with given form: dxdy=x⋅g(x)
We found: dxdy=x⋅(1+9x39)
Therefore, g(x)=1+9x39

Analyzing the Setup
Imagine you are standing before a complex, intimidating expression: tan−1(1−9x36xx). At first glance, it looks like a trap—a labyrinth of radicals and powers designed to make you stumble.
But in the world of JEE Advanced, intimidation is often a mask for elegance. Our mission is to peel back that mask.
The first step in our journey is to stop looking at the expression as a whole and start looking at its soul. We see 6xx in the numerator and 1−9x3 in the denominator.
If you have spent enough time with trigonometry, your brain should immediately start ringing bells. Does this not look like the double-angle identity for tangent?
Recall that:
tan(2θ)=1−tan2θ2tanθ
If we can force our expression into this form, the inverse tangent will simply vanish, leaving us with a much friendlier 2θ.
The Power of Substitution
Let us perform a surgical strike on the expression. We notice that 9x3 is the square of 3x3/2. Similarly, 6xx is 2⋅3x3/2.
This is the 'Aha!' moment. By defining a new variable u=3x3/2, our complex fraction transforms into the beautiful, simple form:
1−u22u
Now, the function becomes y=tan−1(1−u22u). Because we checked our domain constraints—ensuring u stays within the safe bounds where the identity holds—we can confidently simplify this to y=2tan−1(u).
We have traded a terrifying algebraic fraction for a simple inverse tangent function. This is the essence of mathematical mastery: simplification before calculation.
The Final Descent
Now that we have y=2tan−1(3x3/2), the differentiation is no longer a chore; it is a victory lap. We apply the chain rule:
dxdy=2⋅1+(3x3/2)21⋅dxd(3x3/2)
The derivative of 3x3/2 is a straightforward power rule application:
3⋅23⋅x1/2=29x
When we multiply this by our previous term, the 2 in the numerator and the 2 in the denominator cancel out with poetic precision, leaving us with:
1+9x39x
Comparing this to the target form x⋅g(x), we can see clearly that g(x)=1+9x39. You have successfully navigated the trap, simplified the chaos, and arrived at the truth.
