Find the derivative of $\tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{\sin x-\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x}\right)$ with respect to $\dfrac{x}{2}$, for $x\in\left(0,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
$\dfrac{\sin x-\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x} = \tan\!\left(x-\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)$
So $f(x)=\tan^{-1}\!\left(\tan\!\left(x-\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)\right)=x-\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ (within the principal range).
$\dfrac{df}{dx}=1$.
Let $g(x)=x/2$, so $dg/dx=1/2$.
Derivative of $f$ w.r.t. $g$: $\dfrac{df/dx}{dg/dx}=\dfrac{1}{1/2}=\mathbf{2}$
George Eastman introduced roll film and the simple Kodak box camera in 1888. This was revolutionary for several reasons:
- Before Eastman's roll film, photography required heavy glass plates, complex chemical baths, and specialist knowledge โ making it impractical for rapid journalistic work
- The Kodak camera was simple enough for anyone to use (“You press the button, we do the rest” was Eastman's slogan), democratising photography
- Roll film was lighter and easier to load than glass plates, making field photography faster and more mobile
- This, combined with the halftone process (1881) and smaller cameras like the 35mm Leica (first marketed 1925), created the conditions for modern photojournalism
The photojournalist tradition โ using shocking or revealing images to change public opinion and drive legislation โ was enabled directly by these technological advances.
