Question
Find the derivative of the function. Simplify if possible.
y = sin-1(2x + 3)

I'm wondering if the derivative is as simple as [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(2x+3)^{2}}}[/tex] XD
 
Physics news on Phys.org
you forgot to multiply by (2x+3)'.

[tex](arcsinu)'=\frac{u'}{\sqrt{1-u^2}}[/tex]
 
OMFG BOB YOU'RE BACCKKKKK <3333 XD
My assignment is already overdue, so I can't do anything now XD

So it'd be
[tex]\frac{(2x+3)'}{\sqrt{1-(2x+3)^{2}}}[/tex] to solve?
