Question Number 3707 by Filup last updated on 19/Dec/15

lets say we have a function f(x). The tangent line at x=n makes an angle θ with the x−axis. What is the rate of change of the angle as we change the value of x? Suppose f(x)=x^2

tan θ =f ′(x)=2x θ=tan^(−1) (2x) (dθ/dx)=(d/dx)(tan^(−1) (2x)) =(1/(1+(2x)^2 ))×(d/dx)(2x)=(2/(1+4x^2 )) ((dθ/dx))_(x=n) =(2/(1+4n^2 ))

$${tan}\:\theta\:={f}\:'\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{2}{x} \\ $$$$\theta=\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left(\mathrm{2}{x}\right) \\ $$$$\frac{{d}\theta}{{dx}}=\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left(\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left(\mathrm{2}{x}\right)\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+\left(\mathrm{2}{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }×\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left(\mathrm{2}{x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\left(\frac{{d}\theta}{{dx}}\right)_{{x}={n}} =\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{4}{n}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$

Rate of change of angle (θ) wrt x=(dθ/dx) f(x)=x^2 tan θ=2x sec^2 θ(dθ/dx)=2 (1+4x^2 )(dθ/dx)=2 (dθ/dx)=(2/(1+4x^2 ))

$$\mathrm{Rate}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{change}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{angle}\:\left(\theta\right)\:\mathrm{wrt}\:{x}=\frac{{d}\theta}{{dx}} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)={x}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\theta=\mathrm{2}{x}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{sec}^{\mathrm{2}} \theta\frac{{d}\theta}{{dx}}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)\frac{{d}\theta}{{dx}}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{d}\theta}{\mathrm{d}{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$

so tan θ=(df/dx) θ=tan^(−1) (df/dx) (dθ/dx)=(d/dx)tan^(−1) (df/dx) =((d^2 f/dx^2 )/(1+((df/dx))^2 ))???

$$\mathrm{so} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\theta=\frac{{df}}{{dx}} \\ $$$$\theta=\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{{df}}{{dx}} \\ $$$$\frac{{d}\theta}{{dx}}=\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{{df}}{{dx}} \\ $$$$=\frac{\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} {f}}{{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }}{\mathrm{1}+\left(\frac{{df}}{{dx}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }??? \\ $$
