3 Fig. 3 shows the curve defined by the equation \(y = \arcsin ( x - 1 )\), for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 2\). \begin{figure}[h]

  1. Find \(x\) in terms of \(y\), and show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} y } = \cos y\).
  2. Hence find the exact gradient of the curve at the point where \(x = 1.5\).
