Differentiating Inverse Trig Functions
Worksheet on differentiating 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.
Black and White version also included

Powers of x
Integrating Powers of x Treasure Hunt
Use this Treasure Hunt after introducing the reverse of differentiation.
These are all definite integrals for powers of x. Some questions need to be rewritten in exponent form and others require some simple algebraic manipulation first.
Instructions
Print off the twenty question pages and put them up around the room
Each question is in the middle of the page and the solution is at the top of another page.
Answers are correct to two decimal places where appropriate
A student begins on a given question, solves it and finds the answer on another sheet. The question on this sheet will be the next question they answer. Once they have answered all twenty, they will return to their starting question
Depending on numbers, students can all start on different questions
There is a student answer sheet included plus the correct sequence
Differentiation to find local max/min
A worksheet using the first and second derivatives to find stationary points. Mainly maximum and minimum but does have a couple of examples of stationary points of inflection. All curves are functions involving powers of x.
*Points of inflection will be looked at in more detail in an upcoming shapes of curves worksheet/activity.
Answers are included as detailed work solutions. Black and White version included
