Step-by-step solution

5 steps

Here's a breakdown of the calculation for the derivative of y=sin⁡−1xy = \sin^{-1} x:

  1. Rewrite the inverse function.

    If y=sin⁡−1xy = \sin^{-1} x, then by definition of the inverse sine function, we can write xx in terms of yy:

    x=sin⁡yx = \sin y
  2. Differentiate xx with respect to yy.

    We differentiate both sides of x=sin⁡yx = \sin y with respect to yy:

    dxdy=ddy(sin⁡y)=cos⁡y\frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{d}{dy}(\sin y) = \cos y
  3. Express cos⁡y\cos y in terms of xx.

    We use the trigonometric identity sin⁡2y+cos⁡2y=1\sin^2 y + \cos^2 y = 1.
    From this, we can express cos⁡y\cos y as:

    cos⁡y=1−sin⁡2y\cos y = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 y}

    Since we know x=sin⁡yx = \sin y, we can substitute xx for sin⁡y\sin y:

    cos⁡y=1−x2\cos y = \sqrt{1 - x^2}
  4. Substitute cos⁡y\cos y back into dxdy\frac{dx}{dy}.

    Now we replace cos⁡y\cos y in our expression for dxdy\frac{dx}{dy}:

    dxdy=1−x2\frac{dx}{dy} = \sqrt{1 - x^2}
  5. Find dydx\frac{dy}{dx} using the reciprocal rule.

    To find dydx\frac{dy}{dx}, we use the reciprocal relationship between derivatives:

    dydx=1dxdy\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\frac{dx}{dy}}

    Substitute the expression for dxdy\frac{dx}{dy}:

    dydx=11−x2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}
