Let's start with an uncommon method

theta=arcsin(sqrtsin(13x))
So
sin(theta) = sqrt(sin(13x)
derivate both side

theta'cos(theta) = (13cos(13x))/(2sqrt(sin(13x))

So we have

theta'=(13cos(13x))/(2sqrt(sin(13x))*cos(theta)

Buuuuuut : cos(theta) = sqrt(1-sin^2(theta)

and sin^2(theta) =sin(13x)

So...

theta'=(13cos(13x))/(2sqrt(sin(13x))*sqrt(1-sin(13x))
