DO NOW: • Evaluate: • sin-1(1/2) • cos-1 (1/2) • tan-1 (1)
3.8 – Derivatives of Inverse Trigonometric Functions HW: Pg. 170 #2 - 8e, 14 - 26e
Inverse Trigonometric Functions • Apply implicit differentiation to find the derivatives of the inverse trigonometric functions. y = sin-1x means siny = x and
Inverse Trigonometric Functions • This leads to the following formula: • Try finding d/dx of tan-1x
A particle moves along the x-axis so that its position at any time t ≥ 0 is x(t) = tan-1(√x) • What is the velocity of the particle when t = 16?
Differentiate: (a) (b)
Differentiate: • Y = sec-1x, |x|>1
Let’s find the derivative of the arcsecant • y = sec-1x, |x| > 1
Derivatives of the other three • Use the following identities: Inverse Function-Inverse Cofunction Identities • cos-1x = π/2 - sin-1x • cot-1x = π/2 - tan-1x • csc-1x = π/2 - sec-1x
Calculator Conversion Identities • sec-1x = cos-1(1/x) • cot-1x = π/2 - tan-1x • csc-1x = sin-1(1/x)
Find an equation for the line tangent to the graph of y = cot-1(x) • At x = -1
