sin“ x is the inverse function of sin. x
x
For example, we know that sin = =
"x, tan“! x, ete.
Similarly for cos
‘The derivative of sin x can be found as follows.
Let y=sin x, where -1 - [since x=sin y]
= cosy=vi-x'
Hence
(Note that y = sin“ x, where ~L 0.]
A similar method can be used to find the derivatives of cos x, tan“ x, ete.sl FDI VE!
