Derivatives of Inverse Trigonometric Functions (Sine & Cosine)

This Calculus 1 video explains derivatives of inverse trigonometric function--inverse sine and inverse cosine functions in particular. In this video on derivatives of inverse trig functions, we show where the formulas comes from, using a right triangle. Then, we work out some examples of differentiation of inverse trigonometric functions with the inverse sine function and inverse cosine function, explaining how to use the chain rule and the derivative formulas to differentiate a variety of expressions.
