Answer

\[\frac{-1}{t\sqrt{t^2-1}}\]

Work Step by Step

\[y=R(t)=arc\sin \left(\frac{1}{t}\right)\] \[\Rightarrow y=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{t}\right)\;\;\;...(1)\] Differentiating (1) with respect to $t$ using chain rule \[\Rightarrow y'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{t^2}}}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{t}\right)'\] \[\Rightarrow y'=\frac{t}{\sqrt{t^2-1}}\cdot \left(\frac{-1}{t^2}\right)\] \[\Rightarrow y'=\frac{-1}{t\sqrt{t^2-1}}\] Hence , \[y'=\frac{-1}{t\sqrt{t^2-1}}\]
