PART A: CONJECTURING THE DERIVATIVE OF THE BASIC SINE FUNCTION Let fx()= sinx. The sine function is periodic with period 2 . One cycle of its graph is in bold below. Selected [truncated] tangent lines and their slopes (m) are indicated in red.
Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions

Rather than derive the derivatives for cos(x) and sin(x), we will take them axiomatically, and use them to find the derivatives of other trigonometric functions. d dx sin(x) = cos(x) and d dx cos(x) = −sin(x)
