Answer:


f'((\sqrt3)/(2)) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,


f(x)=\sin^(-1) x

We need to find the value of
f'((\sqrt3)/(2))

First, we take f'(x). We know that,


(d)/(dx)(\sin^(-1) x)=(1)/(√(1-x^2) )\\\\f'(x)=(1)/(√(1-x^2) )\\\\f'((\sqrt3)/(2))=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-((\sqrt3)/(2))^2} }\\\\=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-((3)/(4))} }\\\\=\frac{1}{\sqrt{(1)/(4)}}\\\\=(1)/((1)/(2))\\\\=2

So, the value of
f'((\sqrt3)/(2)) is 2.
