Find $\frac{d}{dx} \left(\operatorname{acos}{\left(x \right)}\right)$ .

Solution

The derivative of the inverse cosine is $\frac{d}{dx} \left(\operatorname{acos}{\left(x \right)}\right) = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}}$ :

{\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\operatorname{acos}{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(- \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}}\right)}

Thus, $\frac{d}{dx} \left(\operatorname{acos}{\left(x \right)}\right) = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}}$ .

Answer

$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\operatorname{acos}{\left(x \right)}\right) = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}}$ A
