No CommentsHow to Solve Derivatives with Trigonometric Functions
Description
This video shows the basic trigonometric functions and their derivatives. Content is laid out in an organized and easy to follow manner.
Overview
Trigonometric functions, also known as just trig functions, are very common – they are sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cotangent, cosecant. These are derivatives that you should have memorized, because there is no good way to solve for them.
d/dx sin(x) = cos(x)
d/dx cos(x) = -sin(x)
d/dx tan(x) = sec^2(x)
d/dx sec(x) = sec(x) * tan(x)
d/dx csc(x) = -csc(x) * cot(x)
d/dx cot(x) = -csc^2(x)
