7.6 Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Inverse trigonometric functions arise when we want to calculate angles from side
measurements in triangles. They also provide useful antiderivatives and appear frequently
in the solutions of differential equations. This section shows how these functions are
derived, and integrated, how their derivatives are computed, and why they appear as
important antiderivatives.
Derivative of Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Example4: Using the Chain Rule, we calculate the derivative

𝑑 1 𝑑 2𝑥
(sin−1 𝑥 2 ) = . (𝑥 2 ) =
𝑑𝑥 √1 − (𝑥 2 )2 𝑑𝑥 √1 − 𝑥 4

Example5: Using the Chain Rule and derivative of the arcsecant function, we find

Integration Formulas
The derivative formulas in Table 3.1 yield three useful integration formulas in Table 7.4.
The formulas are readily verified by differentiating the functions on the right-hand sides.
