Derivative of Trigonometric
Using limit, and some rules of trigonometric, we
can find the derivative of sin x, and x in radian.
sin(x+h)=sin x . cos h + cos x. sin h, then
f (x) sin x
f (x h) f (x)
f '(x) lim
h 0 h
sin x.cos h cos x.sin h sin x
f '(x) lim
h 0 h
sin x(cosh 1) cos x sin h
f '(x) lim
h 0 h
cosh 1 lim cos x. sin h
f '(x) lim sin x.
h 0 h h 0 h
f '(x) sin x.0 cos x.1 cos x

For other functions
With the same method, we can find other
functions such as f(x)=cos x, then f’(x)=-sin x
examples: find dy/dx if
y=csc x
y = sec x
y=tan x
y=(cos x)/(1-sin x)
