Indefinite Integrals of Inverse Trigonometric Functions

For real and complex values of x:

\begin{align} \int \arcsin x\,dx &{}= x\,\arcsin x + \sqrt{1-x^2} + C\\ \int \arccos x\,dx &{}= x\,\arccos x - \sqrt{1-x^2} + C\\ \int \arctan x\,dx &{}= x\,\arctan x - \frac{1}{2}\ln\left(1+x^2\right) + C\\ \int \arccot x\,dx &{}= x\,\arccot x + \frac{1}{2}\ln\left(1+x^2\right) + C\\ \int \arcsec x\,dx &{}= x\,\arcsec x - \ln\left + C\\ \int \arccsc x\,dx &{}= x\,\arccsc x + \ln\left + C \end{align}

For real x ≥ 1:

\begin{align} \int \arcsec x\,dx &{}= x\,\arcsec x - \ln\left(x+\sqrt{x^2-1}\right) + C\\ \int \arccsc x\,dx &{}= x\,\arccsc x + \ln\left(x+\sqrt{x^2-1}\right) + C \end{align}

All of these can be derived using integration by parts and the simple derivative forms shown above.

Famous quotes containing the words indefinite, inverse and/or functions:

    “The ideology of capitalism makes us all into connoisseurs of liberty—of the indefinite expansion of possibility.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Yet time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the soul. The spirit sports with time.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Mark the babe
    Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
    One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
    Though yet irrational of soul, to grasp
    With tiny finger—to let fall a tear;
    And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves,
    To stretch his limbs, bemocking, as might seem,
    The outward functions of intelligent man.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
