y=cos^{-1} x
cosy=x
differentiate with respect to y to get
-siny=\frac {dx}{dy}
\frac {dy}{dx}=-1/siny=-1/sqrt(1-cos^2 y)=-1/sqrt(1-x^2 )

y=tan^{-1} x
tany=x
differentiate with respect to y to get
sec^2 y=\frac {dx}{dy}
\frac {dy}{dx}=1/sec^2 y=1/(1+tan^2 y) =1/(1+x^2)

y=sec^{-1} x
secy=x
differentiate with respect to y to get
tany secy=\frac {dx}{dy}
\frac {dy}{dx}=1/tanysecy=1/sqrt(sec^2 y -1) secy =1/sqrt(x^2 -1)x

y=cosec^{-1} x
cosecy=x
differentiate with respect to y to get
-cotycosecy=\frac {dx}{dy}
\frac {dy}{dx}=-1/cotycosecy=-1/sqrt(cosec^2 y -1) cosecy =-1/sqrt(x^2 -1)x
