The correct answer is: 481

Given fx=sincos-11-22x1+22x at x=1;22x=2x2

For sincos-11-2x21+2x2

Let tan-12x=θ;θ-π2,π2

sincos-1cos2θ=sin2θ

 If x>1π2>θ>π4 π>2θ>π2

=2sinθcosθ=2tanθ1+tan2θ

Hence, fx=2·2x1+22x

f'x=1+22x2.2xln2-22x·2·ln2·2·2x1+22x

f'1=20ln2-32ln225=-1225ln2

So, a=25, b=12.

Then, a2-b2=252-122

=625-144

=481
