Calculus II - Illinois State University

We use derivative rules we already know—in this case, the chain rule—as well as the new information about derivatives of inverse trig functions: Example 2: Determine the derivative of . Example 3: Determine the derivative of . Here we recognize that arcsin(u) = sin-1(u). We also use the trig identity sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1. ................
