Implicit differentiation involving arcsin
Suppose is defined implicitly as a function of by the equation Use implicit differentiation, along with the fact that , to find in terms of and .
Hint
Differentiate both sides with respect to . On the right side, apply the chain rule to : the outer function is with , and you'll need the product rule to differentiate with respect to . Then collect all terms containing on one side and solve for it.
Step-by-step solution
Differentiate both sides with respect to . The left side gives . For the right side, apply the chain rule to : By the product rule, , so the equation becomes
Multiply both sides by to clear the denominator: Collect all terms with on the left: Solving for gives the final result
