Exercise 2

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider the function k(θ)=sin⁡−1(sin⁡(θ))\fe{k}{\theta}=\fe{\sin^{-1}}{\fe{\sin}{\theta}}.

Over the interval [−π2,π2]\cinterval{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{\frac{\pi}{2}}, k(θ)=θ\fe{k}{\theta}=\theta. What does this tell you about the formula for k′(θ)\fe{\fd{k}}{\theta} over (−π2,π2)\ointerval{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{\frac{\pi}{2}}?
