Differentiate the function $\cos^{-1}(\sin x)$ with respect to $x$. |
$1$ $-1$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$ $-\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}$ |
$-1$ |
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, $f'(x) = -1$ |
