(a) We can plug any number into the cosine function, and it will return a number in $[-1,1]$. The domain of $\arcsin x$ is $[-1,1]$, so any number we plug into cosine will give us a valid number to plug into arcsine. So, the domain of $f(x)$ is all real numbers.

(b) We can plug any number into the cosine function, and it will return a number in $[-1,1]$. The domain of $\mathop{\mathrm{arccsc}} x$ is $(-\infty,-1] \cup [1,\infty)$, so in order to have a valid number to plug into arccosecant, we need $\cos x = \pm 1$. That is, the domain of $g(x)$ is all values $x=n\pi$ for some integer $n$.

(c) The domain of arccosine is $[-1,1]$. The domain of sine is all real numbers, so no matter what number arccosine spits out, we can safely plug it into sine. So, the domain of $h(x)$ is $[-1,1]$.

False: $\cos t=1$ for infinitely many values of $t$; arccosine gives only the single value $t=0$ for which $\cos t=1$ and $0 \leq t \leq \pi$. The particle does not start moving until $t=10$, so $t=0$ is not in the domain of the function describing its motion.

The particle will have height $1$ at time $2\pi n$, for any integer $n \geq 2$.

First, we restrict the domain of $f$ to force it to be one–to–one. There are many intervals we could choose over which $f$ is one–to–one, but the question asks us to contain $x=0$ and be as large as possible; this leaves us with the following restricted function:

The inverse of a function swaps the role of the input and output; so if the graph of $y=f(x)$ contains the point $(a,b)$, then the graph of $Y=f^{-1}(X)$ contains the point $(b,a)$. That is, the graph of $Y=f^{-1}(X)$ is the graph of $y=f(x)$ with the $x$-coordinates and $y$-coordinates swapped. (So, since $y=f(x)$ crosses the $y$-axis at $y=1$, then $Y=f^{-1}(X)$ crosses the $X$-axis at $X=1$.) This swapping is equivalent to reflecting the curve $y=f(x)$ over the line $y=x$.

Remark: while you're getting accustomed to inverse functions, it is sometimes clearer to consider $y=f(x)$ and $Y=f^{-1}(X)$: using slightly different notations for $x$ (the input of $f$, hence the output of $f^{-1}$) and $X$ (the input of $f^{-1}$, which comes from the output of $f$). However, the convention is to use $x$ for the inputs of both functions, and $y$ as the outputs of both functions, as is written on the graph above.

The tangent line is horizontal when $0=y'=a-\sin x$. That is, when $a=\sin x$.

• If $|a|>1$, then there is no value of $x$ for which $a=\sin x$, so the curve has no horizontal tangent lines.
• If $|a| = 1$, then there are infinitely many solutions to $a=\sin x$, but only one solution in the interval $[-\pi,\pi]$: $x=\arcsin(a)=\arcsin(\pm1)=\pm\frac{\pi}{2}$. Then the values of $x$ for which $a=\sin x$ are $x=2\pi n +a \frac{\pi}{2}$ for any integer $n$.
• If $|a|<1$, then there are infinitely many solutions to $a=\sin x$. The solution in the interval $\left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ is given by $x=\arcsin(a)$. The other solution in the interval $\left(-\pi,\pi\right)$ is given by $x=\pi-\arcsin(a)$, as shown in the unit circles below.

So, the values of $x$ for which $x=\sin a$ are $x=2\pi n+\arcsin(a)$ and $x=2\pi n + \pi - \arcsin (a)$ for any integer $n$.

Remark: when $a=1$, then $$2\pi n+\arcsin(a) = 2\pi n + \dfrac{\pi}{2}=2\pi n +\pi -\left(\dfrac {\pi}{2}\right)=2\pi n+\pi-\arcsin(a).$$ Similarly, when $a=-1$, $$2\pi n+\arcsin(a) = 2\pi n - \dfrac{\pi}{2}=2\pi (n-1) +\pi -\left(-\dfrac {\pi}{2}\right) =2\pi(n-1)+\pi-\arcsin(a).$$ So, if we try to use the descriptions in the third bullet point to describe points where the tangent line is horizontal when $|a|=1$, we get the correct points but each point is listed twice. This is why we separated the case $|a|=1$ from the case $|a|<1$.

Using the chain rule,

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\arcsin\left(\frac{x}{3}\right)\right\}&=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^2}}\cdot \frac{1}{3}\\ &=\frac{1}{3\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{9}}}\\ &=\frac{1}{\sqrt{9-x^2}} \end{aligned}$$

Since the domain of arcsine is $[-1,1]$, and we are plugging in $\dfrac{x}{3}$ to arcsine, the values of $x$ that we can plug in are those that satisfy $-1 \le \dfrac{x}{3} \leq 1$, or $-3\leq x \leq 3$. So the domain of $f$ is $[-3,3]$.

Using the quotient rule,

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\left\{\dfrac{\arccos t}{t^2-1}\right\}&= \frac{(t^2-1)\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right)-(\arccos t)(2t)}{(t^2-1)^2} \end{aligned}$$

The domain of arccosine is $[-1,1]$, and since $t^2-1$ is in the denominator, the domain of $f$ requires $t^2-1 \neq 0$, that is, $t \neq \pm 1$. So the domain of $f(t)$ is $(-1,1)$.

The domain of $\mathop{\mathrm{arcsec}} x$ is $|x| \geq 1$: that is, we can plug into arcsecant only values with absolute value greater than or equal to one. Since $-x^2-2 \leq -2$, every real value of $x$ gives us an acceptable value to plug into arcsecant. So, the domain of $f(x)$ is all real numbers.

To differentiate, we use the chain rule. Remember $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\mathop{\mathrm{arcsec}} x\right\} = \dfrac{1}{|x|\sqrt{x^2-1}}$.

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\mathop{\mathrm{arcsec}}(-x^2-2)\right\}&= \dfrac{1}{|-x^2-2|\sqrt{(-x^2-2)^2-1}}\cdot(-2x)\\ &=\dfrac{-2x}{(x^2+2)\sqrt{x^4+4x^2+3}}. \end{aligned}$$

We use the chain rule, remembering that $a$ is a constant.

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\frac{1}{a}\arctan\left(\dfrac{x}{a}\right)\right\}&= \frac{1}{a}\cdot\frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2}\cdot \frac{1}{a}\\ &=\frac{1}{a^2+x^2} \end{aligned}$$

The domain of arctangent is all real numbers, so the domain of $f(x)$ is also all real numbers.

We differentiate using the product and chain rules.

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{ x\arcsin x + \sqrt{1-x^2}\right\}&= \arcsin x + \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}+ \frac{-2x}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}}\\ &=\arcsin x \end{aligned}$$

The domain of $\arcsin x$ is $[-1,1]$, and the domain of $\sqrt{1-x^2}$ is all values of $x$ so that $1-x^2 \geq 0$, so $x$ in $[-1,1]$. Therefore, the domain of $f(x)$ is $[-1,1]$.

We differentiate using the chain rule:

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\{\arctan(x^2)\}&=\frac{2x}{1+x^4} \end{aligned}$$

This is zero exactly when $x=0$.

Using formulas you should memorize from this section, $$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\{\arcsin x + \arccos x\}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}+\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}=0$$

Remark: the only functions with derivative equal to zero everywhere are constant functions, so $\arcsin x + \arccos x$ should be a constant. Since $\sin \theta = \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)$, we can set

$$\begin{aligned} \sin\theta&=x & \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)&=x\\ \text{where $x$ and $\theta$ are the same in both expressions, and $-\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$. Then} \\ \arcsin x &=\theta & \arccos x &= \frac{\pi}{2}-\theta \\ \text{We note here that arcsine is the inverse of the sine function \textit{ restricted to} $\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$. So, since we restricted $\theta$ to this domain, $\sin \theta=x$ really does imply $\arcsin x = \theta$. (For an example of why this matters, note $\sin(2\pi)=0$, but $\arcsin (0)=0 \neq 2\pi$.) Similarly, arccosine is the inverse of the cosine function restricted to $[0,\pi]$. Since $-\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$, then $0 \leq (\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta) \leq \pi$, so $\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}- \theta\right) =x$ really does imply $\arccos x=\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta$.} \\ \end{aligned}$$

So, $$\arcsin x+\arccos x =\theta+\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta =\frac{\pi}{2}$$ which means the derivative we were calculating was actually just $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right\}=0$.

Using the chain rule, $$y'=\frac{-{\frac{1}{ x^2}}}{\sqrt{1-\left({\frac{1}{ x}}\right)^2}}=\frac{-1}{x^2\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{x^2}}}.$$

Using the chain rule, $$y'=\frac{-{\frac{1}{ x^2}}}{1+\left({\frac{1}{ x}}\right)^2}=\frac{-1}{x^2+1}.$$

Using the product rule:

$$\begin{aligned} \displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{(1+x^2)\arctan x\right\} &=2x\arctan x+(1+x^2)\frac{1}{1+x^2}\\ &=2x\arctan x+1\end{aligned}$$

Let $\theta = \arctan x$. Then $\theta$ is the angle of a right triangle that gives $\tan \theta = x$. In particular, the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side is $x$. So, we have a triangle that looks like this:

where the length of the hypotenuse came from the Pythagorean Theorem. Now, $$\sin\left(\arctan x\right) = \sin \theta = \frac{\text{opp}}{\text{hyp}} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$$ From here, we differentiate using the quotient rule:

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}} \right\}&= \frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}-x\frac{2x}{2\sqrt{x^2+1}}}{x^2+1}\\ &=\left(\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}-\frac{x^2}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}}{x^2+1}\right)\cdot\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\\ &=\frac{(x^2+1)-x^2}{(x^2+1)^{3/2}}\\ &=\frac{1}{(x^2+1)^{3/2}}=(x^2+1)^{-3/2} \end{aligned}$$

Remark: another strategy is to differentiate first, using the chain rule, then draw a triangle to simplify the resulting expression $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\sin\left(\arctan x\right)\right\}=\dfrac{\cos(\arctan x)}{1+x^2}$.

Let $\theta = \arcsin x$. Then $\theta$ is the angle of a right triangle that gives $\sin \theta = x$. In particular, the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse is $x$. So, we have a triangle that looks like this:

where the length of the adjacent side came from the Pythagorean Theorem. Now, $$\cot\left(\arcsin x\right) = \cot \theta = \frac{\text{adj}}{\text{opp}} = \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}$$ From here, we differentiate using the quotient rule:

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x} \right\}&= \frac{x\frac{-2x}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}}-\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x^2}\\ &=\frac{-x^2-(1-x^2)}{x^2\sqrt{1-x^2}}\\ &=\frac{-1}{x^2\sqrt{1-x^2}} \end{aligned}$$

Remark: another strategy is to differentiate first, using the chain rule, then draw a triangle to simplify the resulting expression $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\cot\left(\arcsin x\right)\right\}=\frac{-\csc^2(\arcsin x)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$.
