differentiate inverse tan (2x / [1 - x^2] ) with respect to inv sin ( 2x / [1 + x^2] ).

may i know what does it mean with respect to inv sin and how to start wif this ques pls

Chain rule: derivative of f(x) with respect to h(x) is
\frac{df}{dh}= \frac{df}{dx}\frac{dx}{dh}= \frac{\frac{df}{dx}}{\frac{dh}{dx}}
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
