Integrate functions resulting in inverse trigonometric functions

Integrals that Result in Inverse Sine Functions

Let us begin this last section of the chapter with the three formulas. Along with these formulas, we use substitution to evaluate the integrals. We prove the formula for the inverse sine integral.

Condensed: the full section is in OpenStax Calculus Volume 2.

Integrals Resulting in Other Inverse Trigonometric Functions

There are six inverse trigonometric functions. However, only three integration formulas are noted in the rule on integration formulas resulting in inverse trigonometric functions because the remaining three are negative versions of the ones we use. The only difference is whether the integrand is positive or negative. Rather than memorizing three more formulas, if the integrand is negative, simply factor out −1 and evaluate the integral using one of the formulas already provided. To close this section, we examine one more formula: the integral resulting in the inverse tangent function.

Example

Try it.

Evaluate the integral \(\int \frac{1}{1+4{x}^{2}}dx.\)

Solution

Comparing this problem with the formulas stated in the rule on integration formulas resulting in inverse trigonometric functions, the integrand looks similar to the formula for \({\text{tan}}^{-1}u+C.\) So we use substitution, letting \(u=2x,\) then \(du=2dx\) and \(1\text{/}2du=dx.\) Then, we have

\[\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{1}{1+{u}^{2}}du=\frac{1}{2}\ {\text{tan}}^{-1}u+C=\frac{1}{2}\ {\text{tan}}^{-1}(2x)+C.\]
Example

Try it.

Evaluate the integral \(\int \frac{1}{9+{x}^{2}}dx.\)

Solution

Apply the formula with \(a=3.\) Then,

\[\int \frac{dx}{9+{x}^{2}}=\frac{1}{3}\ {\text{tan}}^{-1}(\frac{x}{3})+C.\]
Example

Try it.

Evaluate the definite integral \({\int }_{\sqrt{3}\text{/}3}^{\sqrt{3}}\frac{dx}{1+{x}^{2}}.\)

Solution

Use the formula for the inverse tangent. We have

\[\begin{array}{ll} \\ \\ {\int }_{\sqrt{3}\text{/}3}^{\sqrt{3}}\frac{dx}{1+{x}^{2}} & ={\text{tan}}^{-1}x{|}_{\sqrt{3}\text{/}3}^{\sqrt{3}} \\ & =[{\text{tan}}^{-1}(\sqrt{3})]-[{\text{tan}}^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3})] \\ & =\frac{\pi }{6}.\end{array}\]

Key Concepts

  • Formulas for derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions developed in Derivatives of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions lead directly to integration formulas involving inverse trigonometric functions.
  • Use the formulas listed in the rule on integration formulas resulting in inverse trigonometric functions to match up the correct format and make alterations as necessary to solve the problem.
  • Substitution is often required to put the integrand in the correct form.

Sık sorulan sorular

What is a derivative in one sentence?

The slope of the graph at a point, the rate at which the output is changing there. Speed is the derivative of position.

What is an integral in one sentence?

The accumulated total of a rate: the area under the curve. Distance travelled is the integral of speed.

Why are derivatives and integrals opposites?

That is the fundamental theorem of calculus: accumulating a rate and then measuring how fast the accumulation grows gets you back the rate. Integration undoes differentiation up to a constant.

When do I use substitution and when integration by parts?

Substitution when part of the integrand is the derivative of another part (u and du both present). Parts when the integrand is a product of two unrelated kinds of function, a polynomial times an exponential, log or trig function.
