Q
Q: If y = cos^(-1)(x), then what is dy/dx?
Solution:
The derivative of y = cos^(-1)(x) is dy/dx = -1/√(1-x^2).
Steps: 4
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that y = cos^(-1)(x) means y is the angle whose cosine is x.
Step 2: Recall the relationship between the derivative of the inverse cosine function and its derivative formula.
Step 3: The formula for the derivative of y = cos^(-1)(x) is dy/dx = -1/√(1 - x^2).
Step 4: This formula is derived from the fact that the derivative of cos(y) with respect to y is -sin(y), and using implicit differentiation.
