Answer

$\frac{1}{|s|\sqrt( {( 25{s^2})-1})}$

Work Step by Step

Given that $y$ = $sec^{-1}(5s)$ on substituting ${5s}$ = $u$ on applying chain rule derivative $\frac{dy}{ds}$ = $\frac{{dsec^{-1}{u}}}{du}$ $\times$ $\frac{du}{ds}$ or $\frac{dy}{ds}$ = $\frac{1}{{|u|}\sqrt ({u^2}-1)}$ $\times$ $\frac{du}{ds}$ so $\frac{dy}{ds}$ = $\frac{1}{|(5s)|\sqrt ({({5s})^2-1})}$ $\times$ $\frac{d {(5s)}}{ds}$ or $\frac{dy}{ds}$ = $\frac{1}{|5s|\sqrt( {(25{s^2})-1})}$ $\times$ $5$ The final answer is: $\frac{1}{|s|\sqrt( {( 25{s^2})-1})}$
