Theorem

Let $\operatorname{arccsc} x$ be the arccosecant of $x$.


Then:

$D_x \left({\operatorname{arccsc} x}\right) = \dfrac {-1} { \left|{x}\right| \sqrt {x^2 - 1} }$

Proof

\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle D_x \operatorname{arccsc} x\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle D_x \left( \dfrac \pi 2 - \operatorname{arcsec} x \right)\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          Sum of Arcsecant and Arccosecant          
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(=\) \(\displaystyle \frac {-1} { \left \vert {x}\right \vert \sqrt {x^2 - 1} }\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          Derivative of Constant, Linear Combination of Derivatives, Derivative of Arcsecant Function
