How do you find the derivative of #sqrt(1-x^2)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Summary of Differentiation Rules 1 Answer ali ergin Jul 20, 2016 #(d y)/(d x)=-x/(sqrt(1-x^2))# Explanation: #y=sqrt(1-x^2)# #"let us remember that : "y=sqrt u" ; "y^'=u^'/(2sqrt u)# #(d y)/(d x)=-(cancel(2)x)/(cancel(2) sqrt(1-x^2))# #(d y)/(d x)=-x/(sqrt(1-x^2))# Answer link Related questions What is a summary of Differentiation Rules?
