What is the derivative of this function #y = sin^-1(x^2)#? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Noah G · mason m Sep 5, 2016 #dy/dx = (2x)/sqrt(1 - x^4)# Explanation: #siny = x^2# #cosy(dy/dx) = 2x# #dy/dx = (2x)/cosy# #dy/dx = (2x)/sqrt(1 - sin^2y)# #dy/dx=(2x)/sqrt(1-(x^2)^2)# #dy/dx = (2x)/sqrt(1 - x^4)# Hopefully this helps!
