Intuitive Approach to the derivative of y=sin(x)
Key Questions
-
Well, the derivative of a function is defined using a limit, so if you are finding derivatives, then you are indeed using limits directly or indirectly; however. in most calculus classes, the derivatives of trigonometric functions are remembered as formulas once derived. So, we have the formula
#(sinx)'=cosx# .
I hope that this was helpful.
