Derivative w.r.t another function [duplicate]

Find $\frac{dv}{du}$ if $v=\sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{1+x^2}$ w.r.t $u=\tan^{-1}\frac{2x}{1-x^2}$ $$v=\sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{1+x^2}=\begin{cases}2\tan^{-1}x&\text{, if }|x|<1\\ \pm\pi-2\tan^{-1}x&\...

Derivative where the variable is a function, e.g. D[x^4,x^2] [duplicate]

How can I express in MMA a derivative if the variable is a function? Example: The first derivative of $x^4$ with respect to $x^2$, would be $\dfrac{\mathrm{d}{x^4}}{\mathrm{d}{x^2}}=2x^2$ ? ...

How to write a general derivative function of parametric equation?

Here I see a mathematical method for finding higher order derivatives of parametric equations: $$\begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{aligned} x & = f(t) \\ y & = g(t) \end{aligned} \right. \end{...
