I’m not entirely sure of this explanation, but you can take it cautiously.

If a user called J comes in to read this, he might be able to offer a better explanation.

Second photo of my two-photo workings

I use the first-quadrant angle range for simplicity, because later on there will be a problem with the signage of cos z in my workings (will it be positive or negative or both?) if I allow z to take on two quadrants from 0 radian to pi radians

Supposing we allow cos z to be negative (and therefore the final answer will contain a +- in front of the square root).

I have checked that if we were to re-differentiate the version with a negative in front of the square root, then the resulting derivative will be the negative of our original question.

See the explanation under section 10.2.

Since z = arcsin (x/3),

Using the definition of arcsine means −π/2 ≤ z ≤ π/2 , so for this domain, cos z will be ≥ 0 .

So no negative sign is needed.

If you have guessed correctly, the similar-looking substitution x = 3 cos z works as well!
