What is the significance of domain restrictions when dealing with inverse trigonometric functions?

• They ensure the function is always increasing.

• They prevent undefined values in the function.

• They allow the function to be continuous.

• They ensure the function is always decreasing.

What is the result of differentiating the inverse sine function?

• x / sqrt(1 - x^2)

• x / (1 + x^2)

• 1 / sqrt(1 - x^2)

• 1 / (1 + x^2)

Which identity is crucial when working with derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions?
