Worksheet for finding the derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions.

Includes a worked example on differentiating arcsin x and then students can show how to get the results for arccos x and arctan x.

Questions then rely on using the chain rule and product rule and increase in difficulty.

Worked solutions are included for ease with marking or to give students to review their own work.
