Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the derivative of \( y = \tan^{-1}(x) \)?
  • Step 1: Understand that we want to find the derivative of the function y = tan^(-1)(x).
  • Step 2: Recall that the derivative of a function gives us the rate of change of that function.
  • Step 3: Use the known formula for the derivative of the inverse tangent function, which is: d/dx(tan^(-1)(x)) = 1/(1+x^2).
  • Step 4: Apply this formula directly to our function y = tan^(-1)(x).
  • Step 5: Write down the result: The derivative of y = tan^(-1)(x) is y' = 1/(1+x^2).
