Key concepts

  • Formulas for derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions developed in Derivatives of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions lead directly to integration formulas involving inverse trigonometric functions.
  • Use the formulas listed in the rule on integration formulas resulting in inverse trigonometric functions to match up the correct format and make alterations as necessary to solve the problem.
  • Substitution is often required to put the integrand in the correct form.

Key equations

Explain the relationship cos −1 t + C = d t 1 t 2 = sin −1 t + C . Is it true, in general, that cos −1 t = sin −1 t ?

cos ( π 2 θ ) = sin θ . So, sin −1 t = π 2 cos −1 t . They differ by a constant.

In the following exercises, solve for the antiderivative f of f with C = 0 , then use a calculator to graph f and the antiderivative over the given interval [ a , b ] . Identify a value of C such that adding C to the antiderivative recovers the definite integral F ( x ) = a x f ( t ) d t .

[T] 1 9 x 2 d x over [ −3 , 3 ]


Two graphs. The first shows the function f(x) = 1 / sqrt(9 – x^2). It is an upward opening curve symmetric about the y axis, crossing at (0, 1/3). The second shows the function F(x) = arcsin(1/3 x). It is an increasing curve going through the origin.
The antiderivative is sin −1 ( x 3 ) + C . Taking C = π 2 recovers the definite integral.

[T] cos x 4 + sin 2 x d x over [ −6 , 6 ]


Two graphs. The first shows the function f(x) = cos(x) / (4 + sin(x)^2). It is an oscillating function over [-6, 6] with turning points at roughly (-3, -2.5), (0, .25), and (3, -2.5), where (0,.25) is a local max and the others are local mins. The second shows the function F(x) = .5 * arctan(.5*sin(x)), which also oscillates over [-6,6]. It has turning points at roughly (-4.5, .25), (-1.5, -.25), (1.5, .25), and (4.5, -.25).
The antiderivative is 1 2 tan −1 ( sin x 2 ) + C . Taking C = 1 2 tan −1 ( sin ( 6 ) 2 ) recovers the definite integral.
