Lesson Plan: Integrals Resulting in Inverse Trigonometric Functions Mathematics • Higher Education
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to evaluate integrals resulting in inverse trigonometric functions, such as ∫1/(1 + 𝑥²) d𝑥.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- recognize integrands that integrate to the inverse trigonometric functions arcsin, arctan, and arcsec.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- the fundamental theorem of calculus,
- differentiation of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions,
- integration by substitution.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- integration by parts.
