Differentiate the function $\cos^{-1}(\sin x)$ with respect to $x$.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → $-1$ ##
Let $f(x) = \cos^{-1}(\sin x)$. Observe that this function is defined for all real numbers.
We may rewrite this function as
$f(x) = \cos^{-1}(\sin x)$
$= \cos^{-1} \left[ \cos \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - x \right) \right]$
$= \frac{\pi}{2} – x$
Thus, $f'(x) = -1$
