Question

How do you find the slope of cosine x

Answer 1

Mhm are you asking for the derivative?

Answer 2

- sin x

Answer 3

What are the actual steps to finding the slope? Basically using the slope for nonlinear equations. I'm just so confused :(

Answer 4

Derivative is the slope u need to memorise the table

Answer 5

u know calculus?

Answer 6

Really? I saw that d/dx cos x =-sin x but I still don't understand. I'm not in calculus I'm actually in algebra 2, but this is an extra credit question

Answer 7

Ok, so for now remember the derivative is the slope
And u need memorise the derivative table

Answer 8

Ok thanks, but what is the derivative table? Any links?
