Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the derivative of y = sin^(-1)(x)?
  • Step 1: Understand that y = sin^(-1)(x) means y is the inverse sine function of x.
  • Step 2: Recall the formula for the derivative of the inverse sine function, which is dy/dx = 1/√(1 - x^2).
  • Step 3: Apply the formula directly to find the derivative of y = sin^(-1)(x).
  • Step 4: Write the final answer as dy/dx = 1/√(1 - x^2).
