Differentiation

What this topic asks you to be able to do

  • differentiate sin–1x, cos–1x, sinh–1x, cosh–1x and tanh–1x, along with the hyperbolic functions in general
  • obtain a formula for d²y/dx² when y and x are connected implicitly or parametrically
  • derive a Maclaurin’s series for a function up to its first few terms, and make use of the result
