DIFFERENTIATION OF TRIGONOMETRY FUNCTIONS

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:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
These rules follow from the limit definition of derivative, special limits, trigonometry
identities, or the quotient rule. In the list of problems which follows, most problems
are average and a few are somewhat challenging.
On problems 1.) through 8.) find answers WITHOUT using the chain rule.

o PROBLEM 1 : Differentiate .

o PROBLEM 2 : Differentiate .

o PROBLEM 3 : Differentiate .
