My task is to find the values f(2017)(0) and f(2018)(0) for f(x)=arccos(x)√1−x2.
Basically, it's about finding the nth derivative of f.
So I noticed if I let g(x)=arccos(x), then f(x)=−g(x)⋅g′(x). I was able to prove by induction that for all n≥2 and k∈N the nth derivative of g′ is [(g′)k](n)(0)=k⋅(n−1)⋅[(g′)k+2](n−2)(0)
But even with applying the Leibniz rule to f=g⋅g′ I don't understand how to get the final result. Did I make the wrong approach to the problem or is the general formula above useful? If so, how should I apply it?
