Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the derivative of sin^(-1)(x)?
  • Step 1: Understand what sin^(-1)(x) means. It is the inverse sine function, also known as arcsin(x).
  • Step 2: Recall the definition of the derivative. The derivative measures how a function changes as its input changes.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for the derivative of the inverse sine function. The formula is: d/dx [sin^(-1)(x)] = 1/√(1-x^2).
  • Step 4: Apply the formula directly to find the derivative of sin^(-1)(x).
  • Step 5: Write down the final answer: The derivative of sin^(-1)(x) is 1/√(1-x^2).
