Here is the problem: differentiate arcsin(x).

2
00:00:03.782 --> 00:00:07.207
Find the derivative of asin(x) with respect to x.

3
00:00:08.007 --> 00:00:14.009
d by d x[arcsin x] equals 1/the square root of 1 minus x squared).

4
00:00:14.459 --> 00:00:15.957
Combine and simplify.

5
00:00:16.757 --> 00:00:22.620
So the answer is f prime of x equals 1 / sqrt(1 minus x squared).

6
00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:36.329
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).

00:00:37.129 --> 00:00:43.898
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
