How do you find the derivative of the function: y=arcsin(2x+1)? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer sjc Oct 28, 2016 (dy)/(dx)=2/(sqrt(1-(2x+1)^2)) Explanation: y=sin^-1(2x+1) =>2x+1=siny :.2(dx)/dy=cosy =>(dy)/dx=2/cosy using cos^2y+sin^2y=1 (dy)/(dx)=2/(sqrt(1-sin^2y) substitue back for x (dy)/(dx)=2/(sqrt(1-(2x+1)^2)) Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of f(x)=sin^-1(x) ?
