HELP ! This question looks so easy but yet i cant do it, i know i am over compliccated it.

Defrentiate ln ( Sin^-1 x)

I remember got something to do with "u", i used u = Sin^-1 x and du/dx = 1 / square root 1 - x square. then i am stuck . . defrentiate ln x , you get 1/x . . soo is the answer just . . . square root 1 - x square . . ? dosent look right to me . . . ZOMG . . .:jaw:

y = ln (sin-1(x))
y' = 1/SQRT(1-x^2) . /sin-1(x))
= 1/SQRT(1-x^2)sin-1(x)

if y = ln f(x)
then dy/dx = f'(x)/f(x)
