00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.680
Here is the problem: differentiate arcsin(2x).

2
00:00:04.130 --> 00:00:07.764
Find the derivative of asin(2 x) with respect to x.

3
00:00:08.564 --> 00:00:15.820
Chain rule — d by d x[arcsin u] equals u prime /the square root of 1 minus u squared).

4
00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:17.768
Constant multiple rule.

5
00:00:18.218 --> 00:00:19.855
Combine and simplify.

6
00:00:20.655 --> 00:00:26.948
So the answer is f prime of x equals 2 / sqrt(1 minus 4x squared).

7
00:00:27.398 --> 00:00:40.796
The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).

8
00:00:41.596 --> 00:00:48.434
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
