  • Unit 4: Transcendental Functions

    In this unit, you will investigate the derivatives of trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Along the way, you will develop a technique of differentiation called implicit differentiation. Aside from allowing you to compute derivatives of inverse function, implicit differentiation will also be important in studying related rates problems later on.

    Completing this unit should take you approximately 17 hours.
