Trigonometry/Derivative of Inverse Functions

The inverse functions , etc. have derivatives that are purely algebraic functions.

If then and

.

So

Similarly,

If then and

So

If then and

So

Power series

The above results provide an easy way to find the power series expansions of these functions.

 

This is uniformly convergent if   so can be integrated term by term. The constant of integration is zero since   , so
