How do you find the derivative of the function: #y=arcsin(2x+1)#? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer sjc Oct 28, 2016 #(dy)/(dx)=2/(sqrt(1-(2x+1)^2))# Explanation: #y=sin^-1(2x+1)# #=>2x+1=siny# #:.2(dx)/dy=cosy# #=>(dy)/dx=2/cosy# using #cos^2y+sin^2y=1# #(dy)/(dx)=2/(sqrt(1-sin^2y)# substitue back for x #(dy)/(dx)=2/(sqrt(1-(2x+1)^2))# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #f(x)=sin^-1(x)# ?
