### The Derivative of Coversed Cosine

Do not confuse with versed cosine.

##### Contents

{\begin{align} \operatorname{covercosin}\theta &= 1 + \sin\theta \cr &= \operatorname{vercosin}\left( {\pi \over 2} - \theta \right) \end{align}}

I have not yet found a good geometric representation of this function in relation to the basic trig functions.

{$y=\operatorname{covercosin}(x)$} and {$y=\operatorname{arccovercosin}(x)$}

{\begin{align} \operatorname{covercosin}\theta &= 1 + \sin\theta \cr {d \over {d\theta}}\operatorname{covercosin}\theta &= {d \over {d\theta}}\left( 1 + \sin\theta \right) \cr &= {d \over {d\theta}}1 + {d \over {d\theta}}\sin\theta \cr &= 0 + \cos\theta \cr \therefore \quad {d \over {d\theta}}\operatorname{covercosin}\theta &= \cos\theta \end{align}}
