Paul's Online Notes: Derivatives of Inverse Trig Functions

Learners solve and graph 10 different problems that are the inverses of various trig functions. First, they determine which equation is equivalent to a given equation. Then, they find an angle of a right triangle, given its leg lengths....

Put another link in the chain. With the aid of the chain rule, the presentation shows how to take the derivative of an arcsin function with a binomial argument. The 15th video in a 31-part series goes on to work through the...

Get two functions for the cost of one. The short video is the 16th in a series of 31 video on calculus topics. The presenter works through finding the derivative of a function involving two arccot functions. One of the functions requires...

Sal defines the concept of inverse trigonometric functions and completes two examples of arcsin. Specifically, he finds the values of the arcsin (sqrt 2/2) and arcsin (sqrt 3/2). He also discusses the restricted domain of the arcsin...

Sal follows a format similar to the last two in the third video on inverse trigonometric functions. He finds the value for the arccos (-1/2) and shows the restricted domain of the arccos function. He also finds the value for cos(arccos...

Continuing with inverse trigonometric functions, Sal finds the value for tan^-1-1. He also shows the restricted domain of the arctan function.

Put trigonometric ratios into inverse. Scholars learn how to find an unknown angle in a right triangle by using inverse trigonometric ratios. The pupils understand how the inverses undo a trigonometric ratio to provide the angle measure....

This site reviews basic information on inverse functions and inverse notation. Graphs of inverse trig functions are shared and discussed.

This site provides a general overview of the derivative of inverse trig trunctions. Content includes a proof, exercises, and more.

Graphically find the derivative of sin(x). Using the interactive, pupils graph the slope of the tangent line to the sine function. Class members use the resulting graph to determine the derivative of the sine function. They verify their...
