After using u=arcsin(x) or x=sinu transforms,

cos(arcsinx)

=cosu

=1(sinu)2

= 1x2

cosθ=1x2

Explanation:

cos(sin1x)

Let sin1x=θ

Then, x=sinθ

Now put the value for x in cos(sin1x)

cos(sin1(sinθ))

So the equation becomes,

cosθ

We know that sin2θ+cos2θ=1

cos2θ=1sin2θ

cosθ=1sin2θ

We have already found that x=sinθ, then x2=sin2θ. Now put x2 in the place for sin2θ.

cosθ=1x2
