Please see the Discussion in the Explanation.

Explanation:

Given that, #y=sin^-1{5/13*x+12/13*sqrt(1-x^2)}#.

Observe that, in order that #y# be meaningful, we must have,

#(1-x^2)ge0, or, |x| le1#.

Hence, if we subst. #x=sintheta#, it is a valid substn.

Also, note that, #5/13=cos alpha rArr sin alpha=12/13#.

Thus, with these #x, cos alpha and sin alpha#, we have,

#5/13*x+12/13*sqrt(1-x^2)#,

#=cosalpha*sintheta+sinalphasqrt(1-sin^2theta)#,

#=sinthetacosalpha+costhetasinalpha#,

#=sin(theta+alpha)#.

#:. y=sin^-1{5/13*x+12/13*sqrt(1-x^2)}#,

#=sin^-1{sin(theta+alpha)}#,

#=theta+alpha, (alpha"=constant)"#,

#:. y=sin^-1x+alpha, (alpha"=constant)"#,

#rArr dy/dx=d/dx{sin^-1x+alpha}, (alpha"=constant)"#,

#=1/sqrt(1-x^2)+0#.

#:. dy/dx=1/sqrt(1-x^2)#.
