Answer

$$\frac{d}{d t} \sinh ^{-1} t=\frac{1}{\sqrt{t^{2}+1}} $$

Work Step by Step

Let \begin{align*} x&=\sinh ^{-1} t \Rightarrow t=\sinh x \end{align*} then \begin{align*} \frac{d t}{d x}&=\cosh x\\ \frac{d x}{d t}&=\frac{1}{\cosh x}\\ &=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\sinh^2x+1}}\\ &=\frac{1}{\sqrt{t^2 +1}} \end{align*} Hence, verified.
