derivative of arccos(1/x)

Solution

\frac{d}{d x} (arccos (\frac{1}{x}))

Solution

\frac{1}{x x ^{2} - 1}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (arccos (\frac{1}{x}))

Apply the chain rule:

- \frac{1}{1 - ( \frac{1}{x} ) ^{2}} \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x})

= - \frac{1}{1 - ( \frac{1}{x} ) ^{2}} \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x})

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x}) = - \frac{1}{x ^{2}}

= - \frac{1}{1 - ( \frac{1}{x} ) ^{2}} (- \frac{1}{x ^{2}})

Simplify

- \frac{1}{1 - ( \frac{1}{x} ) ^{2}} (- \frac{1}{x ^{2}}) : \frac{1}{x x ^{2} - 1}

= \frac{1}{x x ^{2} - 1}
