What's the derivative of arctan(x/3)? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Michael Mar 20, 2016 f'(x)=3/(x^2+9) Explanation: f(x)=arctan(x/3) Apply the chain rule: f'(x)=1/((x/3)^2+1)xx1/3 f'(x)=1/(3(x^2/9+1) This can be simplified to: f'(x)=3/(x^2+9) Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of f(x)=sin^-1(x) ?
