#Differentiation

the derivative of the arccos x or cos^{-1}(x) is -1/โ(1-x^2)
use the chain rule after that [f(g)]'=f'(g(x))g'(x)
what did you get?
yeah, none of those seem to be anywhere near the correct answer...lol
are you sure that those are the answers they give? ๐
for reference, I got (1+x)/[2xโ(-x^2+6x-1)]
Yes . .. I checked..I'm also getting the same
as far as I can tell there is no way to reduce this answer to any of the forms that you book is giving you
Someone else might know how but I sort of doubt it's possible lol.
If you do find out let me know
I got dy/dx=-(-x-1)/(4xโx โ(1-((1-x)/(2โx))^2 ))
Yes if you simplyfy it more you'll most prob arrive at @gentle nymph ans
