This is he proof to d/dx arcsin.
Everything makes perfect sense up to when arccos = (1-sin(y)^2)^1/2
I understand that those numbers in the identity of arccos using Pythagoras a^2+b^2=c^2 -> sin^2+cos^2 = 1^2

Thant makes sense.
My questions is why do we use the identity?

Why don’t we just use 1/(arccos) as the answer?

What’s with the extra step turning 1/(arccos) into 1/(1-arcsin^2)^1/2?

Where you would want in x

#

Yah but, this may just be. A lack of understand of inverse functions, but cos = x. Why not just use that

#

Why the extra step

inner dome
#

Also I see you used chain rule, but you differentiated arcsin to arccos without prove, the correct way is to take arcsin of both sides

humble moon
#

1/(arccos) = 1/x

inner dome
#

No

humble moon
#

No

#

?

#

How come arcsin^2 = x^2 then?

inner dome
humble moon

I see

#

I missed normalizing the inverse functions

inner dome
#

You also differentiated arcsin wrong

#

This will differential will not give any meaningful result...

#

Also the trig identity has arcos in it which is wrong lol

humble moon
#

Ya

#

I haven’t learned much about derivative manipulation yet

#

I just extrapolated my understanding of trig to try and find a proof to the inverse trig functions

#

My very wrong method actually is pretty accurate to finding the identities when I forget lol.

#

Also you lost me on the second image

use implicit differentiation

#

thats generally the trick for inverse functions

humble moon
#

Nvm I figured it out

#

I just kept fucking up my inverse functions

#

Bruh

icy terrace
#

yup thats implicit differentiation

humble moon
#

My issue was with the inverse functions

#

They are very gay lol

#

Also quite interesting
