Whats the derivative of #sin^-1 * (5x)#? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Konstantinos Michailidis Sep 27, 2015 See explanation Explanation: Set #arcsinx=cos^(-1)x# hence we know that #d((arcsinx))/dx=1/(sqrt(1-x^2)# hence for a function #u(x)# #d(arcsinu(x))/dx=1/sqrt(1-u^2(x))*du/dx# hence for #u=5x# we get #d(arcsin5x)/dx=5/(sqrt(1-25x^2))# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #f(x)=sin^-1(x)# ?
