Prerequisites for Calculus

d  of sinx = cosx d  of cosx = -sinx
dx dx

Examples:
1.  y = 3x sinx        Use product rule:
       3x cosx + sinx (3)
     y' = 3x cosx + 3 sinx

2. y =   sinx            Use quotient rule:
1-cosx
(1-cosx)(cosx)-(sinx)(0+sinx)   =    cosx-cos2 x - sin2 x

(1-cosx)2

(1-cosx)2

Other Basic Trig Functions

tan x = sin x sec x =     1  
cos x cos x
cot x = cos x csc x =     1  
sin x sin x

Derivatives:

dx dx

Examples: Find the derivatives:
1. y = x cscx       Product Rule: x(-cscxcotx)+ cscx(1)
                                                    -xcscxcotx + cscx
                                        y ' =   cscx(1-xcotx)

2. y = cosx + x sinx
           -sinx + x(cosx)+sinx(1)
   y ' = x cosx
