To find
for \( \operatorname{Sec}^{-1}\left(x^{2}-1\right) \), we can use the chain rule and the derivative of the inverse secant function.The derivative of the inverse secant function is given by:
Now, let's apply the chain rule to find
:
Using the chain rule, we have:
where
.Now, let's find
:
Now, substitute
into the derivative of the inverse secant function:
Simplifying further, we get:
Therefore, the derivative of \( \operatorname{Sec}^{-1}\left(x^{2}-1\right) \) with respect to
is:
