Using implicit di↵erentiation for good: Inverse functions.
Warmup: Calculate
dy
dx
if
1. e
y
= xy
Take
d
dx
of both sides to find e
y
dy
dx
= x
dy
dx
+ y .So
y = e
y
dy
dx
� x
dy
dx
=
dy
dx
(e
y � x), implying
dy
dx
=
y
e
y � x
2. cos(y) = x + y
Take
d
dx
as before: � sin(y)
dy
dx
= 1 +
dy
dx
. So
dy
dx
(sin(y) + 1) = �1, and so
dy
dx
=
�1
sin(y) + 1
Every time:
(1) Take
d
dx
of both sides.
(2) Add and subtract to get the
dy
dx
terms on one side and everything else on the other.
(3) Factor out
dy
dx
and divide both sides by its coe�cient.

The Derivative of y = ln x
Remember:
(1) y = e
x
has a slope through the point (0,1) of 1.
(2) The natural log is the inverse to e
x
, so
y = ln x =) e
y
= x
y=ln(x)
y=ex
m=1
m=1

The Derivative of y = ln x
To find the derivative of ln(x), use implicit di↵erentiation!
Rewrite
y = ln x as e
y
= x
Take a derivative of both sides of e
y
= x to get
dy
dx
e
y
= 1 so
dy
dx
=
1
e
y
Problem: We asked “what is the derivative of ln(x)?” and got
back and answer with y in it!
Solution: Substitute back!
dy
dx
=
1
e
y
=

e
ln(x)
=

ln(x) =

Quick tip: Logarithmic di↵erentiation
Example: Calculate
dy
dx
if y = x
sin(x)
Problem: Both the base and the exponent have the variable in
them! So we can’t use
d
dx
x
a
= ax
a�1
or
d
dx
a
x
= ln(a)a
x .
Fix: Take the log of both sides and use implicit di↵erentiation:
ln(y) = ln(x
sin(x)
) = sin(x) ⇤ ln(x) (using ln(a
b
) = b ln(a))
Taking the derivative of both sides gives
1
y
dy
dx
= cos(x) ln(x) + sin(x)
1
x
Then solving for
dy
dx
,
dy
dx
= y
✓cos(x) ln(x) + sin(x)
1
x
◆= x
sin(x)
✓cos(x) ln(x) + sin(x)

Back to inverses
In the case where y = ln(x), we used the fact that ln(x) = f
�1
(x),
where f (x) = e
x
, and got
d
dx
ln(x) =
1
e
ln(x)
.
In general, calculating
d
dx
f
�1
(x):
(1) Rewrite y = f
�1
(x) as f (y) = x .
(2) Use implicit di↵erentiation:
f
0(y) ⇤ dy
dx
= 1 so
dy
dx
=
1
f
0(y)
=
1
f
0(f
�1
(x))
.

Examples
Just to check, use the rule
d
dx
f
�1
(x) =
1
f
0(f
�1
(x))
to calculate
1.
d
dx
ln(x) (the inverse of e
x
)
In the notation above, f
�1
(x) = ln(x) and f (x) = e
x
.
We’ll also need f
0(x) = e
x
. So
d
dx
ln(x) =
1
e
ln(x)
,
2.
d
dx
px (the inverse of x
2
)
In the notation above, f
�1
(x) =
px and f (x) = x
2
.
We’ll also need f
0(x) = 2x . So
d
dx
px =
1

Inverse trig functions
Two notations:
f (x) f
�1
(x)
sin(x) sin
�1
(x) = arcsin(x)
cos(x) cos
�1
(x) = arccos(x)
tan(x) tan
�1
(x) = arctan(x)
sec(x) sec
�1
(x) = arcsec(x)
csc(x) csc
�1
(x) = arccsc(x)
cot(x) cot
�1
(x) = arccot(x)
There are lots of points we know on these functions...
Examples:
1. Since sin(⇡/2) = 1, we have arcsin(1) = ⇡/2
2. Since cos(⇡/2) = 0, we have arccos(0) = ⇡/2
Etc...
![Page 11: Using implicit differentiation for good: Inverse functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020203/5868d6e61a28ab3d018b85ea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In general:
arc ( - ) takes in a ratio and spits out an angle:
θ!
"
#
cos(✓) = a/c so arccos(a/c) = ✓
sin(✓) = b/c so arcsin(b/c) = ✓
tan(✓) = b/a so arctan(b/a) = ✓
Domain problems:
sin(0) = 0, sin(⇡) = 0, sin(2⇡) = 0, sin(3⇡) = 0, . . .
So which is the right answer to arcsin(0), really?
