Math Problem Statement
derivative of f(x)=arcsin(2x-1)
Solution
To find the derivative of the function , we will use the chain rule combined with the derivative of the arcsine function.
Step-by-step solution:
-
Recall the derivative formula for arcsin: where is a function of .
-
Apply the chain rule: In our case, , so we need to find first:
-
Differentiate : Now, using the chain rule:
