How do you find the derivative of Inverse trig function #y = arc csc (x/2)#? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Joel Kindiak Aug 16, 2015 #2/ (x^2 sin x)# Explanation: #y=arc csc (x/2)# #csc y = x/2# #1/(cos y) = x/2# #cos y = 2/x# Diff wrt #x# on both sides: #-sin y dy/dx = -2/x^2# #dy/dx = 2/ (x^2 sin y)# #d/dx arc csc (x/2) = 2/ (x^2 sin y)# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #f(x)=sin^-1(x)# ?
