Question Number 5171 by FilupSmith last updated on 25/Apr/16
Can you show why:  (a)     (d/dx)(sin x)=cos x  (b)     (d/dx)(cos x)=−sin x
$$\mathrm{Can}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{show}\:\mathrm{why}: \\ $$$$\left({a}\right)\:\:\:\:\:\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left(\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\right)=\mathrm{cos}\:{x} \\ $$$$\left({b}\right)\:\:\:\:\:\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left(\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\right)=−\mathrm{sin}\:{x} \\ $$

f ′(x)=lim_(x→0)  ((f(x+h)−f(x))/h)    f(x)=sin x  ∴ f ′(x)=lim_(x→0)  ((sin(x+h)−sin(x))/h)=???
$${f}\:'\left({x}\right)=\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{{f}\left({x}+{h}\right)−{f}\left({x}\right)}{{h}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{sin}\:{x} \\ $$$$\therefore\:{f}\:'\left({x}\right)=\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{\mathrm{sin}\left({x}+{h}\right)−\mathrm{sin}\left({x}\right)}{{h}}=??? \\ $$
