Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions

This study guide covers derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions for AP Calculus AB/BC. It explains the core concept of inverse trig functions, the inverse function derivative formula, and provides the derivatives of arcsin(x), arccos(x), arctan(x), arccsc(x), arcsec(x), and arccot(x). It includes example problems demonstrating the chain rule with inverse trig functions, common mistakes, practice questions (multiple-choice and free-response) with solutions, and final exam tips covering memorization, chain rule application, implicit differentiation, and potential applications in related rates, optimization, and curve sketching.
