The following table lists the rules for differentiation and integration of inverse trigonometric functions.

Let \(\mathrm{f}\) be a function and \(a\) a constant, and \(C\) denotes an arbitrary constant.

\[\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \arcsin \frac{x}{a} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}}\]

\[\displaystyle \displaystyle\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} \, \mathrm{d}x = \arcsin \frac{x}{a} + C\]
\[\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \arctan \frac{x}{a} = \frac{a}{a^2 + x^2}\]\[\displaystyle \displaystyle\int \frac{1}{a^2 + x^2} \, \mathrm{d}x = \frac{1}{a} \arctan \frac{x}{a} + C\]
