Answer

$$ y^{\prime}=\frac{d}{dx} \left[ y \right] = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ \sin ^{-1}(2 x+1) \right] =\frac{1}{\sqrt{-x^{2}-x}} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ y=\sin ^{-1}(2 x+1) $$ Differentiating both sides of this equation we have $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{d}{dx} \left[ y \right] &= \frac{d}{dx} \left[ \sin ^{-1}(2 x+1) \right] \\ y^{\prime}&=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(2 x+1)^{2}}} \cdot \frac{d}{d x}(2 x+1) \\ &=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\left(4 x^{2}+4 x+1\right)}} \cdot 2 \\ &=\frac{2}{\sqrt{-4 x^{2}-4 x}} \\ &=\frac{1}{\sqrt{-x^{2}-x}} \end{aligned} $$
