Calculus:Derivative of Trigonometric Functions

1. $f(sinx)'=cos(x)$
2. $f(cosx)'=-sin(x)$
3. $f(tanx)'=sec^{2}(x)$
4. $f(cotx)'=-csc^{2}(x)$
5. $f(cscx)'=-csc(x)cot(x)$
6. $f(secx)'=sec(x)tan(x)$

How do we get the equation

$f(sinx)'=cos(x)$ and $f(cosx)'=-sin(x)$ you only can tell by looking at the graph so we will skip it to.

tan x

So we will started with $f(tanx)'=sec^{2}(x)$

We know that $tanx={sinx \over cosx}$ If you have learn trigonometry then.

$f({sinx \over cosx})'$ by using the Quotient Rule $({f \over g})'={(gf'-fg') \over g^{2}}$

$f({sinx \over cosx})'={{cosx(sinx)'-sinx(cosx)'} \over {cosx}^{2}}$

$f({sinx \over cosx})'={{cosxcosx-sinx(-sinx)} \over {cosx}^{2}}$

$f({sinx \over cosx})'={{{cos}^{2}x+{sin}^{2}x} \over {cosx}^{2}}$

${cos}^{2}x+{sin}^{2}x=1$

$f({sinx \over cosx})'={1 \over {cos}^{2}x}$

$f({sinx \over cosx})'={1 \over {cos}^{2}x}={1 \over cosx}{1 \over cosx}$

need to know that

${1 \over cosx}=secx$

$f(tanx)'=f({sinx \over cosx})'={1 \over {cos}^{2}x}={sec}^{2}x$

cot x

why did $f(cotx)'=-csc^{2}(x)$

first start with

$cotx={cosx \over sinx}$

so

$f(cotx)'=f({cosx \over sinx})'$
