9((i))
1. Express the given function with a negative rational index and apply the chain rule.
2. Evaluate the inner derivative and simplify the expression to the required form.
-\dfrac{x}{(x^2-1)^{3/2}} \quad \text{(shown)}
9((ii))
1. Apply the chain rule using the standard derivative for the inverse sine function.
2. Simplify the expression algebraically, taking careful note of the condition $x > 1$ when extracting the square root.
Since it is given that , we have . Thus:
