Reverse a scaled inverse derivative

Use the named arc function, match its radical or sum-of-squares kernel, then divide by the exact signed slope and radius multiplier.

Principal ranges: arcsin [-pi/2, pi/2], arccos [0, pi], arctan (-pi/2, pi/2), arccot (0, pi), arcsec [0, pi] excluding pi/2, and arccsc [-pi/2, pi/2] excluding 0.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Recognize the requested inverse trigonometric primitive, divide by its exact signed scaled derivative coefficient, and state the original open domain.

Worked example

Use arctan to integrate 2/(9 + (2x - 1)^2) dx.

(1/3)arctan((2x - 1)/3) + C

The derivative pattern contributes 2·3 = 6, so divide the original coefficient 2 by 6.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Read the requested arc-function cue before matching the kernel.
  • For arctan, arccot, arcsec and arccsc, include the radius in the derivative multiplier.
  • Keep |g(x)| in arcsec and arccsc kernels and use strict endpoint exclusions.
