  • gpt-oss:20b: pass
  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass — The solution correctly applies the chain rule via the inverse-trig derivative rule, differentiates the inner linear function, and simplifies the result. Each step changes only one thing and uses valid labels.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-09-26 with SymPy 1.14.0.
