Answer

\[y'=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-(\sin^{-1}t)^2}}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right)\]

Work Step by Step

\[y=\cos^{-1}\left(\sin^{-1}t\right)\;\;\;...(1)\] We know that \[\frac{d}{dx}(\cos^{-1}x)=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}...(2)\] and \[\frac{d}{dx}(\sin^{-1}x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}...(3)\] Differentiating (1) with respect to $t$ using chain rule Using (2) \[y'=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-(\sin^{-1}t)^2}}\cdot \left(\sin^{-1}t\right)'\] Using (3) \[y'=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-(\sin^{-1}t)^2}}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right)\] Hence \[y'=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-(\sin^{-1}t)^2}}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right)\]
