How do you differentiate y=sec^-1(e^(2x))? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Ananda Dasgupta Feb 18, 2018 2/sqrt{e^{4x}-1} Explanation: sec y = e^{2x} differentiating both sides with respect to x : sec y tan y {dy}/{dx}=2e^{2x} implies dy/dx = {2 e^{2x}}/{sec y tan y}={2e^{2x}}/{e^{2x}sqrt{(e^{2x})^2-1}}=2/sqrt{e^{4x}-1} Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of f(x)=sin^-1(x) ?
