Determine using calculus dy/dx if y =arcsin x/(1-x^2)?

Since the given function is a fraction, we'll apply the
quotient rule to determine the first derivative.


(u/v)' =
(u'*v - u*v')/v^2


We'll put u =
arcsinx


du/dx = d(arcsinx)/dx =
sqrt(1-x^2)


We'll put v =
(1-x^2)


dv/dx =
d(1-x^2)/dx


dv/dx = -2x


Now,
we'll differentiate the function:


dy/dx =
[(1-x^2)sqrt(1-x^2) +
2x(arcsinx)]/(1-x^2)^2


The first derivative
of the given function is: dy/dx = [(1-x^2)sqrt(1-x^2) +
2x(arcsinx)]/(1-x^2)^2.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
