1 Chapter Three SHORT-CUTS TO DIFFERENTIATION In Chapter, we efine the erivative function f () = lim h 0 f( + h) f() h an saw how the erivative represents a slope an a rate of change. We learne how to approimate the erivative of a function given graphically (by estimating the slope of the tangent at each point) an numerically (by fining the average rate of change of the function between ata values). We calculate the erivatives of an 3 eactly using the efinition. In this chapter we make a systematic stuy of the erivatives of functions given by formulas, such as power, polynomial, eponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, an hyperbolic functions. The chapter also contains general rules, such as the prouct, quotient, an chain rules, which allow us to ifferentiate combinations of functions. The chapter conclues with theorems about ifferentiable functions, incluing the Mean Value Theorem an its consequences.

POWERS AND POLYNOMIALS Derivative of a Constant Times a Function y Figure 3. shows the graph of y = f() an of three multiples: y = 3f(), y = f(), an y = f(). What is the relationship between the erivatives of these functions? In other wors, for a particular -value, how are the slopes of these graphs relate? y y y f() 3f() f()/ f() Slope = m Slope = 3m Slope = m/ Slope= m Figure 3.: A function an its multiples: Derivative of multiple is multiple of erivative Multiplying the value of a function by a constant stretches or shrinks the original graph (an reflects it in the -ais if the constant is negative). This changes the slope of the curve at each point. If the graph has been stretche, the rises have all been increase by the same factor, whereas the runs remain the same. Thus, the slopes are all steeper by the same factor. If the graph has been shrunk, the slopes are all smaller by the same factor. If the graph has been reflecte in the -ais, the slopes will all have their signs reverse. In other wors, if a function is multiplie by a constant, c, so is its erivative: Theorem 3.: Derivative of a Constant Multiple If f is ifferentiable an c is a constant, then [cf()] = cf (). Proof Although the graphical argument makes the theorem plausible, to prove it we must use the efinition of the erivative: cf( + h) cf() f( + h) f() [cf()] = lim = lim c h 0 h h 0 h f( + h) f() = c lim = cf (). h 0 h We can take c across the limit sign by the properties of limits (part of Theorem. on page 5). Derivatives of Sums an Differences Suppose we have two functions, f() an g(), with the values liste in Table 3.. Values of the sum f() + g() are given in the same table. Table 3. Sum of Functions f() g() f() + g()

3 3. POWERS AND POLYNOMIALS We see that aing the increments of f() an the increments of g() gives the increments of f() + g(). For eample, as increases from 0 to, f() increases by 0 an g() increases by 0., while f() + g() increases by = 0.. Similarly, as increases from 3 to 4, f() increases by 40 an g() by 0., while f() + g() increases by = 40.. From this eample, we see that the rate at which f()+g() is increasing is the sum of the rates at which f() an g() are increasing. Similar reasoning applies to the ifference, f() g(). In terms of erivatives: Theorem 3.: Derivative of Sum an Difference If f an g are ifferentiable, then [f() + g()] = f () + g () an [f() g()] = f () g (). Proof Using the efinition of the erivative: [f( + h) + g( + h)] [f() + g()] [f() + g()] = lim h 0 h = lim h 0 = f () + g (). f( + h) f() h } {{ } Limit of this is f () g( + h) g() + }{{ h } Limit of this is g () We have use the fact that the limit of a sum is the sum of the limits, part of Theorem. on page 5. The proof for f() g() is similar. Powers of In Chapter we showe that f () = ( ) = an g () = (3 ) = 3. The graphs of f() = an g() = 3 an their erivatives are shown in Figures 3. an 3.3. Notice f () = has the behavior we epect. It is negative for < 0 (when f is ecreasing), zero for = 0, an positive for > 0 (when f is increasing). Similarly, g () = 3 is zero when = 0, but positive everywhere else, as g is increasing everywhere else. y f() = y f () = Figure 3.: Graphs of f() = an its erivative f () = g () = g() = 3 Figure 3.3: Graphs of g() = 3 an its erivative g () = 3

In Section 3.6 we inicate how to justify the power rule for powers of the form /n. Use the power rule to ifferentiate (a) (a) For n = 3: (b) For n = /: (c) For n = /3: 3, (b) /, (c) 3.

5 Justification of (n ) = n n, for n a Positive Integer 3. POWERS AND POLYNOMIALS 3 To calculate the erivatives of an 3, we ha to epan ( + h) an ( + h) 3. To calculate the erivative of n, we must epan ( + h) n. Let s look back at the previous epansions: ( + h) = + h + h, ( + h) 3 = h + 3h + h 3, an multiply out a few more eamples: In general, we can say ( + h) 4 = h + 6 h + 4h 3 + h 4, ( + h) 5 = h h + 0 h 3 + 5h 4 + h 5. }{{} Terms involving h an higher powers of h ( + h) n = n + n n h + + h n. }{{} Terms involving h an higher powers of h We have just seen this is true for n =, 3, 4, 5. It can be prove in general using the Binomial Theorem (see the online theory supplement). Now to fin the erivative, ( + h) n n (n ) = lim h 0 h = lim h 0 ( n + n n h + + h n ) n h Terms involving h an higher powers of h {}}{ n n h + + h n = lim. h 0 h When we factor out h from terms involving h an higher powers of h, each term will still have an h in it. Factoring an iviing, we get: h(n n + + h n ) (n ) = lim = lim h 0 h But as h 0, all terms involving an h will go to 0, so Derivatives of Polynomials These terms go to 0 Terms involving h an higher powers of h {}}{ (n n + + h n ). h 0 (n ) = lim (n n + + h n ) = n h 0 }{{} n. Now that we know how to ifferentiate powers, constant multiples, an sums, we can ifferentiate any polynomial. Eample 3 Fin the erivatives of (a) , (b) π. (a) ( ) = 5 ( ) + 3 () + () = (Since the erivative of a constant, (), is zero.) =

Eample 4 Differentiate (a) (a) (b) ( ) (b) = (5 / 0 + ) / = 5 / 0( ) 3 + = /. ( ) 3/ (0.3 + ) = 0.

Since f is always positive, f is concave up, as epecte for a parabola opening upwar. (See Figure 3.5.) (b) If g() = 3, then g () = 3, so g () = (3 ) = 3 ( ) = 3 = 6. This is positive for > 0 an negative for < 0, which means 3 is concave up for > 0 an concave own for < 0. (See Figure 3.6.) (c) If k() = /, then k () = (/) = /, so 4 k () = ( / ) = ( ) (/) = 4 3/. Now k an k are only efine on the omain of k, that is, 0. When > 0, we see that k () is negative, so k is concave own. (See Figure 3.7.) f > 0 Figure 3.5: f() = an f () = 8 g < 0 8 g > 0 Figure 3.6: g() = 3 an g () = 6 k < 0 Figure 3.7: k() = / an k () = 4 3/ 4 Eample 6 If the position of a boy, in meters, is given as a function of time t, in secons, by s = 4.9t + 5t + 6, fin the velocity an acceleration of the boy at time t.

7 3. POWERS AND POLYNOMIALS 5 The velocity, v, is the erivative of the position: v = s t = t ( 4.9t + 5t + 6) = 9.8t + 5, an the acceleration, a, is the erivative of the velocity: a = v t = ( 9.8t + 5) = 9.8. t Note that v is in meters/secon an a is in meters/secon. Eample 7 Figure 3.8 shows the graph of a cubic polynomial. Both graphically an algebraically, escribe the behavior of the erivative of this cubic. A B f A f C C B Figure 3.8: The cubic of Eample 7 Figure 3.9: Derivative of the cubic of Eample 7 Graphical approach: Suppose we move along the curve from left to right. To the left of A, the slope is positive; it starts very positive an ecreases until the curve reaches A, where the slope is 0. Between A an C the slope is negative. Between A an B the slope is ecreasing (getting more negative); it is most negative at B. Between B an C the slope is negative but increasing; at C the slope is zero. From C to the right, the slope is positive an increasing. The graph of the erivative function is shown in Figure 3.9. Algebraic approach: f is a cubic that goes to + as +, so with a > 0. Hence, f() = a 3 + b + c + f () = 3a + b + c, whose graph is a parabola opening upwar, as in Figure 3.9. Eercises an Problems for Section 3. Eercises. Let f() = 7.

(b) For any negative integer n. 3. THE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION What o we epect the graph of the erivative of the eponential function f() = a to look like? The eponential function in Figure 3.0 increases slowly for < 0 an more rapily for > 0, so the values of f are small for < 0 an larger for > 0. Since the function is increasing for all values of, the graph of the erivative must lie above the -ais. It appears that the graph of f may resemble the graph of f itself. f() = a Figure 3.0: f() = a, with a > In this section we see that f () = k a, so in fact f () is proportional to f(). This property of eponential functions makes them particularly useful in moeling because many quantities have rates of change which are proportional to themselves. For eample, the simplest moel of population growth has this property. Derivatives of Eponential Functions an the Number e We start by calculating the erivative of g() =, which is given by ( g +h ) () = lim h 0 h ( h = lim h 0 h = lim h 0 ( h ) = lim h 0 ( h ) h h ). (Since an are fie uring this calculation). To fin lim h 0 ( h )/h, see Table 3. where we have substitute values of h near 0. The table suggests that the limit eists an has value Let us call the limit k, so k = Then ( ) = k = So the erivative of is proportional to with constant of proportionality A similar calculation shows that the erivative of f() = a is ( a f +h a ) ( a h ) () = lim = lim a. h 0 h h 0 h

10 8 Chapter Three SHORT-CUTS TO DIFFERENTIATION Table 3. h ( h )/h Table 3.3 a a k = lim h h 0 h Table 3.4 h ( + h) /h The quantity lim h 0 (a h )/h is also a constant, although the value of the constant epens on a. Writing k = lim h 0 (a h )/h, we see that the erivative of f() = a is proportional to a : (a ) = k a. For particular values of a, we can estimate k by substituting values of h near 0 into the epression (a h )/h. Table 3.3 shows the results. Notice that for a =, the value of k is less than, while for a = 3, 4, 5,..., the values of k are greater than. The values of k appear to be increasing, so we guess that there is a value of a between an 3 for which k =. If so, we have foun a value of a with the remarkable property that the function a is equal to its own erivative. So let s look for such an a. This means we want to fin a such that a h lim =, or, for small h, h 0 h Solving for a, we can estimate a as follows: a h h. a h h, or a h + h, so a ( + h) /h. Taking small values of h, as in Table 3.4, we see a This is the number e introuce in Chapter. In fact, it can be shown that if e = lim ( + h) /h e h = then lim =. h 0 h 0 h This means that e is its own erivative: (e ) = e. Figure 3. shows the graphs, 3, an e together with their erivatives. Notice that the erivative of is below the graph of, since k < there, an the graph of the erivative of 3 is above the graph of 3, since k > there. With e.78, the function e an its erivative are ientical. Note on Roun-Off Error an Limits If we try to evaluate ( + h) /h on a calculator by taking smaller an smaller values of h, the values of (+h) /h at first get closer to However, they will eventually move away again because of the roun-off error (i.e., errors introuce by the fact that the calculator can only hol a certain number of igits). As we try smaller an smaller values of h, how o we know when to stop? Unfortunately, there is no fie rule. A calculator can only suggest the value of a limit, but can never confirm that this

11 3. THE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION 9 value is correct. In this case, it looks like the limit is because the values of (e h )/h approach this number for a while. To be sure this is correct, we have to fin the limit analytically. f() = e an its erivative g () (.)3 f () (0.69) g() = 3 Figure 3.: Graphs of the functions, e, an 3 an their erivatives A Formula for the Derivative of a To get a formula for the erivative of a, we must calculate f a +h a ( a h ) () = lim = lim a. h 0 h h 0 h }{{} k However, without knowing the value of a, we can t use a calculator to estimate k. We take a ifferent approach, rewriting a = e ln a, so a h (e ln a ) h e (ln a)h lim = lim = lim. h 0 h h 0 h h 0 h To evaluate this limit, we use a limit that we alreay know e h lim =. h 0 h In orer to use this limit, we substitute t = (ln a)h. Since t approaches 0 as h approaches 0, we have e (ln a)h e t ( ) ( lim = lim h 0 h t 0 (t/ ln a) = lim ln a et e t ) = ln a lim = (ln a) = ln a. t 0 t t 0 t Thus, we have f a +h a ( () = lim = lim h 0 h h 0 a h ) a = (ln a)a. h In Section 3.6 we obtain the same result by another metho. We conclue that: (a ) = (ln a)a. Thus, for any a, the erivative of a is proportional to a. The constant of proportionality is ln a. The erivative of a is equal to a if the constant of proportionality is, that is, if ln a =, then a = e. The fact that the constant of proportionality is when a = e makes e a particularly convenient base for eponential functions.

This section shows how to fin the erivatives of proucts an quotients. Using Notation To epress the ifference quotients of general functions, some aitional notation is helpful. We write f, rea elta f, for a small change in the value of f, f = f( + h) f(). In this notation, the erivative is the limit of the ratio f/h: f f () = lim h 0 h. Suppose we know the erivatives of f() an g() an want to calculate the erivative of the prouct, f()g(). The erivative of the prouct is calculate by taking the limit, namely, [f()g()] f( + h)g( + h) f()g() = lim. h 0 h To picture the quantity f( + h)g( + h) f()g(), imagine the rectangle with sies f( + h) an g( + h) in Figure 3.3, where f = f( + h) f() an g = g( + h) g().

In the thir term we multiply the top an bottom by h to get f h f g f lim = lim h 0 h h 0 h g h h = lim f h 0 h Therefore, we conclue that f( + h)g( + h) f()g() lim = lim h 0 h h 0 Thus we have prove the following rule: ( f h g h h. Then, lim g h 0 h lim h = f () g () 0 = 0. h 0 g f g g() + f() + h h f g = lim g() + lim f() h 0 h h 0 h + lim h 0 = f ()g() + f()g (). ) f g h Theorem 3.3: The Prouct Rule If u = f() an v = g() are ifferentiable, then (fg) = f g + fg. The prouct rule can also be written (uv) = u v + u v. In wors: The erivative of a prouct is the erivative of the first times the secon plus the first times the erivative of the secon. Another justification of the prouct rule is given in Problem 6 on page 55. Eample Differentiate (a) e, (b) (3 + 5)e, (c) e.

(b) ((3 + 5)e ( ) (3 ) + 5) = e + (3 + 5) (e ) = (6 + 5)e + (3 + 5)e = ( )e. 3.3 THE PRODUCT AND QUOTIENT RULES 3 (c) First we must write e as the prouct e : ( ) e = ( e ( ) ( ) ) = e + (e ) = 3 e + e = ( 3 + )e. The Quotient Rule Suppose we want to ifferentiate a function of the form Q() = f()/g(). (Of course, we have to avoi points where g() = 0.) We want a formula for Q in terms of f an g. Assuming that Q() is ifferentiable, we can use the prouct rule on f() = Q()g(): Solving for Q () gives f () = Q ()g() + Q()g () = Q ()g() + f() g() g (). f () f() Q g() g () () =. g() Multiplying the top an bottom by g() to simplify gives ( ) f() = f ()g() f()g () g() (g()). So we have the following rule: Theorem 3.4: The Quotient Rule If u = f() an v = g() are ifferentiable, then or equivalently, ( ) f = f g fg g g, ( u ) = v u v u v v. In wors: The erivative of a quotient is the erivative of the numerator times the enominator minus the numerator times the erivative of the enominator, all over the enominator square. The metho in Eample 6 on page 30 can be use to eplain why Q() must be ifferentiable.

19 3.4 THE CHAIN RULE THE CHAIN RULE Composite functions such as sin(3t) or e occur frequently in practice. In this section we see how to ifferentiate such functions. The Derivative of a Composition of Functions Suppose f(g()) is a composite function, with f being the outsie function an g being the insie. Let us write z = g() an y = f(z), so y = f(g()). Then a small change in, calle, generates a small change in z, calle z. In turn, z generates a small change in y calle y. Provie an z are not zero, we can say: Since y = we have: lim 0 The Chain Rule y = y z z. y, this suggests that in the limit as, y, an z get smaller an smaller, y = y z z. Since y z = f (z) an z = g (), we can also write f(g()) = f (z) g (). Substituting z = g(), we can rewrite this as follows: Theorem 3.5: The Chain Rule If f an g are ifferentiable functions, then f(g()) = f (g()) g (). In wors: The erivative of a composite function is the prouct of the erivatives of the outsie an insie functions. The erivative of the outsie function must be evaluate at the insie function. A justification of the chain rule is given in Problem 7 on page 55. Eample The length, L, in cm, of a steel bar epens on the air temperature, H C, an the temperature H epens on time, t, measure in hours. If the length increases by cm for every egree increase in temperature, an the temperature is increasing at 3 C per hour, how fast is the length of the bar increasing? What are the units for your answer? We epect the rate at which the length is increasing to be in cm/hr. We are tol that Rate length increasing with respect to temperature = L H = cm/ C Rate temperature increasing with respect to time = H t = 3 C/hr.

20 8 Chapter Three SHORT-CUTS TO DIFFERENTIATION We want to calculate the rate at which the length is increasing with respect to time, or L/t. We think of L as a function of H, an H as a function of t. By the chain rule we know that L t = L H H ( t = Thus, the length is increasing at 6 cm/hr. cm C ) ( ) C 3 = 6 cm/hr. hr Eample shows us how to interpret the chain rule in practical terms. The net eamples show how the chain rule is use to compute erivatives of functions given by formulas. Eample Fin the erivatives of the following functions: (a) ( + ) 00 (b) (c) + 4 () e 3 (e) e (a) Here z = g() = + is the insie function; f(z) = z 00 is the outsie function. Now g () = an f (z) = 00z 99, so (( + ) 00 ) = 00z 99 = 00( + ) 99 = 00( + ) 99. (b) Here z = g() = an f(z) = z, so g () = an f (z) = z. Hence ( ) = z (6 + 5) = (6 + 5) (c) Let z = g() = + 4 an f(z) = /z, so g () = an f (z) = z = z. Then ( + 4 ) = z ( + 43 ) = + 43 ( + 4 ). We coul have one this problem using the quotient rule. Try it an see that you get the same answer! () Let z = g() = 3 an f(z) = e z. Then g () = 3 an f (z) = e z, so ( e 3 ) = e z 3 = 3e 3. (e) To figure out which is the insie function an which is the outsie, notice that to evaluate e we first evaluate an then take e to that power. This tells us that the insie function is z = g() = an the outsie function is f(z) = e z. Therefore, g () =, an f (z) = e z, giving (e ) = e z = e = e. To ifferentiate a complicate function, we may have to use the chain rule more than once, as in the following eample. Eample 3 Differentiate: (a) e /7 + 5 (b) ( e t ) 9

21 3.4 THE CHAIN RULE 9 (a) Let z = g() = e /7 + 5 be the insie function; let f(z) = z be the outsie function. Now f (z) = z, but we nee the chain rule to fin g (). We choose new insie an outsie functions whose composition is g(). Let u = h() = /7 an k(u) = e u +5 so g() = k(h()) = e /7 +5. Then h () = /7 an k (u) = e u, so ( g () = e u ) = 7 7 e /7. Using the chain rule to combine the erivatives of f(z) an g(), we have ( e /7 + 5) = ( 7 ) e /7 z e /7 = 4 e / (b) Let z = g(t) = e t be the insie function an f(z) = z 9 be the outsie function. Then f (z) = 9z 8 but we nee the chain rule to ifferentiate g(t). Now we choose u = h(t) = t an k(u) = e u, so g(t) = k(h(t)). Then h (t) = t / = t an k (u) = e u, so t g (t) = e u = e. t t Using the chain rule to combine the erivatives of f(z) an g(t), we have ) t t ( t e ) 9 = 9z ( 8 e = 9 e ( e t ) 8. t t It is often faster to use the chain rule without introucing new variables, as in the following eamples. Eample 4 Differentiate sin(e 3+ ). The chain rule is neee four times: ( sin(e ) 3+ ) = cos(e 3+ ) (e 3+ ) = cos(e 3+ ) e 3+ ( 3 + ) = cos(e 3+ ) e 3+ (3 + ) / = cos(e 3+ ) e 3+ (3 + ) /. ( 3 + ) Eample 5 Fin the erivative of e by the chain rule an by the prouct rule. Using the chain rule, we have (e ) = e () = e = e. Using the prouct rule, we write e = e e. Then (e ) = ( ) ( ) (e e ) = (e ) e + e (e ) = e e + e e = e.

22 30 Chapter Three SHORT-CUTS TO DIFFERENTIATION Using the Prouct an Chain Rules to Differentiate a Quotient If you prefer, you can ifferentiate a quotient by the prouct an chain rules, instea of by the quotient rule. The resulting formulas may look ifferent, but they will be equivalent. Eample 6 Fin k () if k() = +. One way is to use the quotient rule: k () = ( + ) () ( + ) = ( + ). Alternatively, we can write the original function as a prouct, an use the prouct rule: k() = + = ( + ), k () = ( + ) + Now use the chain rule to ifferentiate ( + ), giving Therefore, [ ( + ) ]. [ ( + ) ] = ( + ) = ( + ). k () = + + ( + ) = + ( + ). Putting these two fractions over a common enominator gives the same answer as the quotient rule.

25 3.5 THE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS THE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS Derivatives of the Sine an Cosine Since the sine an cosine functions are perioic, their erivatives must be perioic also. (Why?) Let s look at the graph of f() = sin in Figure 3. an estimate the erivative function graphically. f() = sin π π π π 3π 4π Figure 3.: The sine function First we might ask where the erivative is zero. (At = ±π/, ±3π/, ±5π/, etc.) Then ask where the erivative is positive an where it is negative. (Positive for π/ < < π/; negative for π/ < < 3π/, etc.) Since the largest positive slopes are at = 0, π, an so on, an the largest negative slopes are at = π, 3π, an so on, we get something like the graph in Figure 3.. f () π π π π 3π 4π Figure 3.: Derivative of f() = sin The graph of the erivative in Figure 3. looks suspiciously like the graph of the cosine function. This might lea us to conjecture, quite correctly, that the erivative of the sine is the cosine. Of course, we cannot be sure, just from the graphs, that the erivative of the sine really is the cosine. However, for now we ll assume that the erivative of the sine is the cosine an confirm the result at the en of the section. One thing we can o now is to check that the erivative function in Figure 3. has amplitue (as it ought to if it is the cosine). That means we have to convince ourselves that the erivative of f() = sin is when = 0. The net eample suggests that this is true when is in raians. Eample Using a calculator set in raians, estimate the erivative of f() = sin at = 0. Since f() = sin, Table 3.5 f sin(0 + h) sin 0 sin h (0) = lim = lim h 0 h h 0 h. Table 3.5 contains values of (sin h)/h which suggest that this limit is, so we estimate f (0) = lim h 0 sin h h =. h (raians) (sin h)/h Warning: It is important to notice that in the previous eample h was in raians; any conclusions we have rawn about the erivative of sin are vali only when is in raians. If you fin the erivative with h in egrees, you get a ifferent result. Eample Starting with the graph of the cosine function, sketch a graph of its erivative.

The erivative of the cosine in Figure 3.3(b) looks eactly like the graph of sine, ecept reflecte about the -ais. But how can we be sure that the erivative is sin? Eample 3 Use the relation (sin ) = cos to show that (cos ) = sin. Since the cosine function is the sine function shifte to the left by π/ (that is, cos = sin ( + π/)), we epect the erivative of the cosine to be the erivative of the sine, shifte to the left by π/. Differentiating using the chain rule: ( ( (cos ) = sin + π )) ( = cos + π ). But cos( + π/) is the cosine shifte to the left by π/, which gives a sine curve reflecte about the -ais. So we have ( (cos ) = cos + π ) = sin. At the en of this section an in Problems 5 an 5, we show that our conjectures for the erivatives of sin an cos are correct. Thus, we have: For in raians, (sin ) = cos an (cos ) = sin. Eample 4 Differentiate (a) sin(3θ), (b) cos, (c) cos( ), () e sin t. Use the chain rule: (a) (b) (c) () θ ( sin(3θ)) = θ (sin(3θ)) = (cos(3θ)) (3θ) = (cos(3θ))3 = 6 cos(3θ). θ (cos ) = ( (cos ) ) = (cos ) ( cos( ) ) = sin( ) ( ) = sin( ). t (e sin t ) = e sin t t ( sin t) = (cos t)e sin t. (cos ) = (cos )( sin ) = cos sin.

Writing (sin ) for (sin )/, we have: (tan ) = ( sin cos ) = (sin ) (cos ) (sin )(cos ) cos = cos + sin cos = cos. For in raians, (tan ) = cos.

28 36 Chapter Three SHORT-CUTS TO DIFFERENTIATION Informal Justification of (sin ) = cos Consier the unit circle in Figure 3.5. To fin the erivative of sin, we nee to estimate sin( + h) sin. h In Figure 3.5, the quantity sin( + h) sin is represente by the length QA. The arc QP is of length h, so sin( + h) sin h = QA Arc QP. Now, if h is small, QAP is approimately a right triangle because the arc QP is almost a straight line. Furthermore, using geometry, we can show that angle AQP = + h. For small h, we have sin( + h) sin h As h 0, the approimation gets better, so = QA Arc QP cos( + h). sin( + h) sin (sin ) = lim = cos. h 0 h Other erivations of this result are given in Problems 5 an 5 on page 37.
