HELP PLEASE! no idea how to start this.

\[f(x)=\arcsin \sqrt{2x-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

derivative? integral?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

derivative, sorry.

you can always take the sin of both sides to arrive at the following: \[y= \arcsin \sqrt{2x-1}\] \[siny = \cancel{\sin(\arcsin)}\sqrt{2x-1}\] \[siny = \sqrt{2x-1}\] followdd by implicit differentiation: \[\frac{d}{dx}siny= \frac{d}{dx}(2x-1)^{\frac{1}{2}}\] \[cosy \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2}(2x-1)^{-\frac{1}{2}}*(2)\] \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\huge{\frac{1}{cosy*(2x-1)^{\frac{1}{2}}}}\]

remembering that you can solve for cosy based off of your siny term: \[siny = \frac{\sqrt{2x-1}}{1}\]|dw:1352404277975:dw| where we've filled in the opposite and hypotenuse of the triangle (as per soh cah toa) now have to solve cosy
