Step-by-Step Solution

To find the value of dd(tan⁡θ)(f(θ))\frac{d}{d(\tan \theta)}(f(\theta)), we first simplify the given function f(θ)f(\theta).

Given:
f(θ)=sin⁡(tan⁡−1(sin⁡θcos⁡2θ))f(\theta) = \sin \left( \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}} \right) \right)
where −π4<θ<π4-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}.

Let x=sin⁡θcos⁡2θx = \frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}}. Since −π4<θ<π4-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}, we have cos⁡2θ>0\cos 2\theta > 0 and cos⁡θ>0\cos \theta > 0.

Using the identity sin⁡(tan⁡−1x)=x1+x2\sin(\tan^{-1} x) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}, we evaluate 1+x21 + x^2:
1+x2=1+(sin⁡θcos⁡2θ)2=1+sin⁡2θcos⁡2θ1 + x^2 = 1 + \left(\frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}}\right)^2 = 1 + \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos 2 \theta}

Using the double angle formula cos⁡2θ=cos⁡2θ−sin⁡2θ\cos 2\theta = \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta:
1+x2=cos⁡2θ+sin⁡2θcos⁡2θ=(cos⁡2θ−sin⁡2θ)+sin⁡2θcos⁡2θ=cos⁡2θcos⁡2θ1 + x^2 = \frac{\cos 2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta}{\cos 2 \theta} = \frac{(\cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta) + \sin^2 \theta}{\cos 2 \theta} = \frac{\cos^2 \theta}{\cos 2 \theta}

Taking the square root on both sides:
1+x2=cos⁡2θcos⁡2θ=∣cos⁡θ∣cos⁡2θ\sqrt{1 + x^2} = \sqrt{\frac{\cos^2 \theta}{\cos 2 \theta}} = \frac{|\cos \theta|}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}}

Since cos⁡θ>0\cos \theta > 0 for θ∈(−π4,π4)\theta \in \left(-\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right), we have ∣cos⁡θ∣=cos⁡θ|\cos \theta| = \cos \theta. Thus:
1+x2=cos⁡θcos⁡2θ\sqrt{1 + x^2} = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}}

Now, substituting xx and 1+x2\sqrt{1 + x^2} back into f(θ)f(\theta):
f(θ)=x1+x2=sin⁡θcos⁡2θcos⁡θcos⁡2θ=sin⁡θcos⁡θ=tan⁡θf(\theta) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 + x^2}} = \frac{\frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}}}{\frac{\cos \theta}{\sqrt{\cos 2 \theta}}} = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \tan \theta

Finally, we find the derivative of f(θ)f(\theta) with respect to tan⁡θ\tan \theta:
dd(tan⁡θ)(f(θ))=dd(tan⁡θ)(tan⁡θ)=1\frac{d}{d(\tan \theta)}(f(\theta)) = \frac{d}{d(\tan \theta)}(\tan \theta) = 1
