List of integrals of inverse trigonometric functions

Last updated May 31, 2023

The following is a list of indefinite integrals (antiderivatives) of expressions involving the inverse trigonometric functions. For a complete list of integral formulas, see lists of integrals.

The inverse trigonometric functions are also known as the "arc functions".
C is used for the arbitrary constant of integration that can only be determined if something about the value of the integral at some point is known. Thus each function has an infinite number of antiderivatives.
There are three common notations for inverse trigonometric functions. The arcsine function, for instance, could be written as sin⁻¹, asin, or, as is used on this page, arcsin.
For each inverse trigonometric integration formula below there is a corresponding formula in the list of integrals of inverse hyperbolic functions.

The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant $e$ , which is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to $2.718 281828459$ . The natural logarithm of $x$ is generally written as $ln x$ , $log e x$ , or sometimes, if the base $e$ is implicit, simply $log x$ . Parentheses are sometimes added for clarity, giving $ln(x)$ , $log e (x)$ , or $log(x)$ . This is done particularly when the argument to the logarithm is not a single symbol, so as to prevent ambiguity.

In mathematics, hyperbolic functions are analogues of the ordinary trigonometric functions, but defined using the hyperbola rather than the circle. Just as the points $(cos t, sin t)$ form a circle with a unit radius, the points $(cosh t, sinh t)$ form the right half of the unit hyperbola. Also, similarly to how the derivatives of $sin(t)$ and $cos(t)$ are $cos(t)$ and $-sin(t)$ respectively, the derivatives of $sinh(t)$ and $cosh(t)$ are $cosh(t)$ and $+sinh(t)$ respectively.

Integration is the basic operation in integral calculus. While differentiation has straightforward rules by which the derivative of a complicated function can be found by differentiating its simpler component functions, integration does not, so tables of known integrals are often useful. This page lists some of the most common antiderivatives.

In mathematics, the inverse trigonometric functions are the inverse functions of the trigonometric functions. Specifically, they are the inverses of the sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions, and are used to obtain an angle from any of the angle's trigonometric ratios. Inverse trigonometric functions are widely used in engineering, navigation, physics, and geometry.

In mathematics, trigonometric substitution is the replacement of trigonometric functions for other expressions. In calculus, trigonometric substitution is a technique for evaluating integrals. Moreover, one may use the trigonometric identities to simplify certain integrals containing radical expressions. Like other methods of integration by substitution, when evaluating a definite integral, it may be simpler to completely deduce the antiderivative before applying the boundaries of integration.

In mathematics, the inverse hyperbolic functions are inverses of the hyperbolic functions, analogous to the inverse circular functions. There are six in common use: inverse hyperbolic sine, inverse hyperbolic cosine, inverse hyperbolic tangent, inverse hyperbolic cosecant, inverse hyperbolic secant, and inverse hyperbolic cotangent. They are commonly denoted by the symbols for the hyperbolic functions, prefixed with arc- or ar-.

This is a summary of differentiation rules, that is, rules for computing the derivative of a function in calculus.

The differentiation of trigonometric functions is the mathematical process of finding the derivative of a trigonometric function, or its rate of change with respect to a variable. For example, the derivative of the sine function is written sin′(a) = cos(a), meaning that the rate of change of sin(x) at a particular angle x = a is given by the cosine of that angle.

Euler substitution is a method for evaluating integrals of the form
