The correct answer is: 13

f(x)=tan-11+x-1-x1+x+1-x

Let, x=cos2θ

1+x=1+cos2θ

1+x=2cos2θ

1+x=2cosθ

Also, 1-x=1-cos2θ

1-x=2sin2θ

1-x =2sinθ

f(x)=tan-12cosθ-2sinθ2cosθ+2sinθ

f(x)=tan-11-tanθ1+tanθ

f(x)=tan-1tanπ4-θ

f(x)=π4-θ=π4-cos-1x2

We need to find, limx122f(x)-f122x-1

Applying L Hospital's rule

=limx12f'x

=f'12

Now, f(x)=12π2-cos-1x

f'x=120--11-x2

f'x=1211-x2

f'12=1211-122

f'12=13
