What is the derivative of #(arcsin x)^2#? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Narad T. Dec 27, 2016 The answer is #=(2arcsinx)/(sqrt(1-x^2))# Explanation: We need #(sqrtx)'=1/(2sqrtx)# #(sinx)'=cosx# #sin^2x+cos^2x=1# Let, #y=(arcsinx)^2# #sqrty=arcsinx# #sin(sqrty)=x# #(sin(sqrty))'=x'# #1/(2sqrty)*cos (sqrty)dy/dx=1# #dy/dx=2sqrty/cos(sqrty)# #sin^2(sqrty)+cos^2(sqrty)=1# #Cos^2(sqrty)=1-x^2# #cos(sqrty)=sqrt(1-x^2)# Therefore, #dy/dx=(2arcsinx)/(sqrt(1-x^2))# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #f(x)=sin^-1(x)# ?
