Explanation:
Using the
color(blue)" chain rule " chain rule
d/dx[f(g(x)] = f'(g(x)) . g'(x) and the standard derivative
d/dx(cos^-1 x) =( -1)/sqrt(1 - x^2)
rArr dy/dx = (-1)/sqrt(1 - (1-2x^2)^2) d/dx(1-2x^2)
= (4x)/sqrt(1-1 +4x^2 - 4x^4) =( 4x)/sqrt(4x^2(1-x^2))
= (4x)/(2xsqrt(1-x^2))= 2/sqrt(1-x^2)
