    DERIVATIVES OF INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

    1. Implicit differentiation
    In math 1, we learned about the function ln x being the inverse of the function
    ex . Remember that we found the derivative of ln x by differentiating the equation
    ln x = y.
    First, you wrote it in terms of functions that we knew:
    x = ey
    Then, we took the derivative of both sides
    dy
    1 = ey .
    dx
    Then, since ey = x, we simplified to
    dy
    1=x
    dx
    and concluded by dividing both sides by x to get
    1 dy
    = .
    x dx
    2. Inverse trig functions
    We will do the same for the inverse trig functions. The process is the same, it is
    just a little hard to simplify.
    dy
    Example 1. Find the when y = Sin−1 (x).
    dx
    Solution. Again we start by writing it in terms of functions we know better, so
    sin(y) = x
     
    −π π
    for y ∈ , . Now, take the derivative of both sides,
    2 2
    dy
    cos(y) = 1.
    dx
    Now y = Sin−1 (x) so we need to simplify cos(Sin−1 (x)). We did this in Example 5
    of the previous packet where we showed
    p
    cos(Sin−1 (x)) = 1 − x2 .
    So we conclude that
    dy 1
    =√ .
    dx 1 − x2

    Patterning our work after the example we can show that


    dy 1
    (1) for y = Tan−1 (x), we get =
    dx 1 + x2
    dy −1
    (2) for y = Cos−1 (x), we get =√
    dx 1 − x2
    3. Problems
    Repeat the Example for
    (1) y = Tan−1 (x)
    (2) y = Cos−1 (x)
    Find the derivatives of the following functions
    (1) f (x) = Sin−1 (2x − 1).
    (2) h(x) = (1 + x2 )Tan−1 (x).
    −1
    (3) y = cost t .
    (4) g(x) = Tan −1
    (sin(x)).
    x q
    (5) y = Tan−1 + ln x−a
    x+a .
    √ a
    (6) F (t) = 1 − t2 + Sin−1 t.
    (7) f (x) = x sin xCos−1 x
    (8) y = (Sin−1 x)2
    (9) y = Sin−1 x2
    (10) U (t) = eTan t .
    −1

    Solutions to the odd numbered ones of the last 10:


    • (1) √ 2 2
    1−(2x−1)
    √ −t −cos−1 t
    1−t2
    • (3) t2
    −1  
    (x+a)−(x−a)
    1 1
    2 ( x−a
    x+a )

    (x+a)2
    • (5) a
    2 + q
    1+(x
    a ) x−a
    x+a
     
    • (7) sin x cos−1 x + x cos x cos−1 x − √sin x

    • (9) √ 2x
