The process of implicit differentiation is helpful in finding thederivatives of inverse trig functions. Let us find the derivative of y = tan-1x using implicit differentiation. From the definition ofarctan, y = tan-1x ⇒ tan y = x. Differentiating this equation both sides with respect to...
Derivative of Arctan Before going to see what is the derivative of arctan, let us see some facts about arctan. Arctan (or) tan-1is the inverse function of the tangent function. i.e., If y = tan-1x then tan y = x. Also, we know that if f and f-1are inverse functions of ...
