derivative of: postin. postin pic. My question is though, why on the third line, is it [1+(1-x^2)-x^2]? like where did the -x^2 come from?

OpenStudy (math2400):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they found common denominators which is \[\sqrt{1-x}\] and combined the two terms. This allows it to be reduced more.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large y = arcsinx + x\sqrt{1-x^2}\) \(\large y' = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \sqrt{1-x^2} + x(\frac{1}{2}) (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-2x)\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

fine till here right ?

OpenStudy (math2400):

I'm sorry combined which two terms? and @ganeshie8 I got up to there it's the next line I'm confused about. i sorta understand the common denim. but I'm not too certain

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large y = arcsinx + x\sqrt{1-x^2}\) \(\large y' = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \sqrt{1-x^2} + x(\frac{1}{2}) (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-2x)\) \(\large y' = (\sqrt{1-x^2})^{\frac{-1}{2}} + \sqrt{1-x^2} + x(\frac{1}{2}) (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-2x)\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

still fine ?

OpenStudy (math2400):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ive made a mistake there, it shoudl be :- \(\large y = arcsinx + x\sqrt{1-x^2}\) \(\large y' = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \sqrt{1-x^2} + x(\frac{1}{2}) (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-2x)\) \(\large y' = (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}} + \sqrt{1-x^2} + x(\frac{1}{2}) (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-2x)\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

next factor \((1-x^2)^\frac{-1}{2}\) from each term

OpenStudy (math2400):

oh ok i see the square root.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes :)

OpenStudy (math2400):

from the entire equ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large y = arcsinx + x\sqrt{1-x^2}\) \(\large y' = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \sqrt{1-x^2} + x(\frac{1}{2}) (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-2x)\) \(\large y' = (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}} + \sqrt{1-x^2} + x(\frac{1}{2}) (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-2x)\) \(\large y' = (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}} + (1-x^2)^{1 - \frac{1}{2}} + x(\frac{1}{2}) (1-x^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-2x)\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes from the entire right side, factor that..

OpenStudy (math2400):

ok I get it. Thank you!!

OpenStudy (math2400):

Thanks for the help guys(: appreciate it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
