What is the derivative of y = arcsin x? from before: f ( x ) = sin x 1 ′ ( f −1 ) ( x ) = f ′ f −1 ( x ) f ′ ( x ) = cos x ( )
1 ( f )′ ( x ) = cos ( arcsin x) 1

( f )′ ( x ) = ′ x = ( )
(f )
( )( )
this is better written as
1 − sin ( arcsin x ) 2

f −1 ( x ) = arcsin x f −1 ′ x = ?
since cos x = 1 − sin 2 x , we have
