Determine the derivatives of i) f(x) = Sinx following functions by 1st principle

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i dont believe you can without handwaving involved

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sin(x+h) - sin(x) sin(x)cos(h)+sin(h)cos(x) - sin(x) sin(h)cos(x) + sin(x)(cos(h)-1) --------- ------------ h h

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then you have to believe that sin(h)/h goes to 1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and that (cos(h)-1)/h goes to zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks, thats more or less it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

:) yep
