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:

    “For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
    —Primo Levi (1919–1987)

    “The quality of moral behaviour varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Those things which now most engage the attention of men, as politics and the daily routine, are, it is true, vital functions of human society, but should be unconsciously performed, like the corresponding functions of the physical body.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
