#(dy)/(dx)=csc^(-1)x+x^2/sqrt(x^2-1)#

Let #csc^(-1)x=t#

then #csct=x# or #sint=1/x# and #t=sin^(-1)(1/x)#

as #d/(dx)sin^(-1)u=1/sqrt(1-u^2)#

#d/(dx)csc^(-1)x=d/(dx)sin^(-1)(1/x)#

= #1/sqrt(1-1/x^2)=x/sqrt(x^2-1)#

Hence if #y=xcsc^(-1)x#

#(dy)/(dx)=csc^(-1)x+x xx x/sqrt(x^2-1)#

= #csc^(-1)x+x^2/sqrt(x^2-1)#
