Many students have difficulty relating the inverse trig functions with their derivatives. By using a right triangle to derive some of the inverse derivatives, students can better understand these formulas. Then the students will use the inverse derivatives in the guided practice and formative assessment. The first page of the worksheet is determining derivatives containing inverse trig. The second page is determining the equation of a tangent line and finally deriving the derivative of the inverse cosine.

Concepts included in this lesson are:

· List of trig function derivatives and their inverses.

· Derivations of the derivatives for arcsin x and arctan x.

· Limits at infinity for arctan x.

· Practice evaluating derivatives of inverse trig functions.

You can print this no prep lesson and use it as an in-class activity or download the digital learning choice for distance learning students. Even if you have a hybrid class, both types of students can access this lesson.

The lesson includes:

• Graphic organizer of inverse functions, derivatives, domain, and range.

• Derivation of derivatives of arcsinx and arctanx with opportunity for students to derive arccosx

• Multiple examples.

• Guided practice.

• A formative assessment with an answer key.
