Derivatives of Inverse Trigonometric Functions

In this section, we will learn the derivative formulas of the inverse trigonometric functions with their proofs. Now we calculate the derivative of $\sin^{-1}x$ (or arc sin x). Derivative of $\sin^{-1}x$ \[\frac{d}{dx}(\sin^{-1}x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, (|x|<1)\] Proof: Note that $\sin^{-1}x$ is defined when $|x| \leq 1.$ We assume that \[y=\sin^{-1}x.\] As $|x| \leq 1$, we must have … Read more
