How do you differentiate y=sec^-1(e^(2x))y=sec−1(e2x)? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Ananda Dasgupta Feb 18, 2018 2/sqrt{e^{4x}-1}2√e4x−1 Explanation: sec y = e^{2x}secy=e2x differentiating both sides with respect to xx : sec y tan y {dy}/{dx}=2e^{2x} implies secytanydydx=2e2x⇒ dy/dx = {2 e^{2x}}/{sec y tan y}={2e^{2x}}/{e^{2x}sqrt{(e^{2x})^2-1}}=2/sqrt{e^{4x}-1}dydx=2e2xsecytany=2e2xe2x√(e2x)2−1=2√e4x−1 Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of f(x)=sin^-1(x)f(x)=sin−1(x) ?
