Product rule with arcsine
Let . Find .
Hint
Apply the product rule with and , recalling that . Then substitute .
Step-by-step solution
Using the product rule, .
Now substitute : , and , so the second term is . Thus .
Identifying the rule used
Hint
Step-by-step solution
The answer is product rule. Since h of x was defined as x times arcsine of x, a product of two functions, the derivative required applying the product rule, not the quotient rule. The quotient rule only applies when one function is divided by another.
