Answer

To find the derivative of \( y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}-1}{x} \right) \) with respect to \( z = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{2x \sqrt{1-x^2}}{1-2x^2} \right) \) at \( x = 0 \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Differentiate \( y \) with respect to \( x \)

Let:
\[ y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}-1}{x} \right) \]

Using the chain rule:
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{1 + \left( \frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}-1}{x} \right)^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}-1}{x} \right) \]

### Step 2: Differentiate \( z \) with respect to \( x \)

Let:
\[ z = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{2x \sqrt{1-x^2}}{1-2x^2} \right) \]

Using the chain rule:
\[ \frac{dz}{dx} = \frac{1}{1 + \left( \frac{2x \sqrt{1-x^2}}{1-2x^2} \right)^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{2x \sqrt{1-x^2}}{1-2x^2} \right) \]

### Step 3: Apply the formula for derivatives of inverse functions

We need to find \( \frac{dy}{dz} \):
\[ \frac{dy}{dz} = \frac{dy/dx}{dz/dx} \]

### Step 4: Evaluate at \( x = 0 \)

1. **Evaluate \( y \) at \( x = 0 \)**:
\[ y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{1+0^2}-1}{0} \right) = \tan^{-1}(0) = 0 \]

2. **Evaluate \( z \) at \( x = 0 \)**:
\[ z = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{2 \cdot 0 \cdot \sqrt{1-0^2}}{1-2 \cdot 0^2} \right) = \tan^{-1}(0) = 0 \]

3. **Evaluate \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) at \( x = 0 \)**:
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{1 + \left( \frac{\sqrt{1+0^2}-1}{0} \right)^2} \cdot \text{(Evaluate the derivative)} \]
This requires careful evaluation of the limit as \( x \to 0 \).

4. **Evaluate \( \frac{dz}{dx} \) at \( x = 0 \)**:
\[ \frac{dz}{dx} = \frac{1}{1 + \left( \frac{2 \cdot 0 \cdot \sqrt{1-0^2}}{1-2 \cdot 0^2} \right)^2} \cdot \text{(Evaluate the derivative)} \]
Similar to \( y \), this requires evaluating the limit.

### Step 5: Final Calculation

Finally, substitute the values of \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) and \( \frac{dz}{dx} \) into \( \frac{dy}{dz} \) and evaluate at \( x = 0 \).
