§4.24(ii) Derivatives

ⓘ

Keywords:: derivatives, inverse trigonometric functions
Notes:: See Levinson and Redheffer (1970, pp. 68–70). For (4.24.10) and (4.24.11) note that the principal value of $(z^{2}-1)^{1/2}$ is discontinuous on the imaginary axis, hence we switch to the other branch when crossing this axis. This accounts for the two signs.

The above equations are interpreted in the sense that every value of the left-hand side is a value of the right-hand side and vice versa. All square roots have either possible value.
