From our trigonometric identities, we can show that d dx sinx= cosx: d dx sinx= lim h!0 sin(x+ h) sin(x) h = lim h!0 sin(x)cos(h) + cos(x)sin(h) sin(x) h = lim h!0 sin(x)[cos(h) 1] + cos(x)sin(h) h = lim h!0 sin(x) [cos(h) 1] h + lim h!0 cos(x) sin(h) h = sin(x) lim h!0 [cos(h) 1] h + cos(x) lim h!0 sin(h) h = cos(x): 2. We can also show that
3.5 Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions - Calculus Volume ...
openstax.org › books › calculus-volume-1In this section we expand our knowledge of derivative formulas to include derivatives of these and other trigonometric functions. We begin with the derivatives of the sine and cosine functions and then use them to obtain formulas for the derivatives of the remaining four trigonometric functions. Being able to calculate the derivatives of the sine and cosine functions will enable us to find the velocity and acceleration of simple harmonic motion.

In the following discussion and solutions the derivative of a function h ( x) will be denoted by or h ' ( x) . The following problems require the use of these six basic trigonometry derivatives : These rules follow from the limit definition of derivative, special limits, trigonometry identities, or the quotient rule.

www.ocf.berkeley.edu › ~reinholz › edKnowledge of the derivatives of sine and cosine allows us to find the derivatives of all other trigono-metric functions using the quotient rule. Recall the following identities: tan(x) = sin(x) cos(x) cot(x) = cos(x) sin(x) sec(x) = 1 cos(x) csc(x) = 1 sin(x) Example 2 Find the derivatives of tan(x), cot(x), csc(x), and sec(x).
