What is the derivative of this function y=tan^-1(x^3)-x? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Alan N. Sep 15, 2016 dy/dx = (3x^2)/(x^6+1)-1 Explanation: y = arctan(x^3)-x dy/dx= 1/((x^3)^2+1) * d/dx(x^3) -d/dx x (Standard differential and chain rule) = 1/(x^6+1) * 3x^2 -1 (Power rule) = (3x^2)/(x^6+1)-1 Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of f(x)=sin^-1(x) ?
