QZ What’s New
In mathematics, the trigonometric functions are also called circular functions
or angle functions. These are real functions which are widely used in all sciences
that are related togeometry such as navigation, solid mechanics, celestial
mechanics, geodesy, and many others.
Moreover, the differentiation of trigonometric functions is the mathematical process
of finding the derivative of a trigonometric function, or its rate of change with respect
toa variable. For example, the derivative of the sine function is written sina) = cos(a),
meaning that the rate of change of sin(x) at a particular angle x = ais given by the
cosine of that angle.
All derivatives of circular trigonometric functions can be found from those of ‘sin(x)
and cos(x) by means of the quotient rule applied to functions such as tanfx) =
sin(x)/cos(x). Knowing these derivatives, the derivatives of the inverse trigonometric
functions are found using implicit differentiation.@) What is It
Rules of Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions
Rule 1. Avsinu) = = cos ua
Example. Differentiate y = sin 4x.
Solution: y= sin4dx
= cos(4.x) Sux)
= cos(4x)-4 oA (x)
2. Acos4x +1
= 4cas4x

Rule 2. 4 (cosu) = -sinu=
Example. Differentiate y = cos(2x).
Solution: y= cos (2x)
2 = =sin(2x) 4 (2x)
