Recall the long way to find the derivative. Let’s use this long way to find the derivative of [pic]

[pic]

Use the formula for the sin of the sum of angles to expand the first part of the limit

[pic]

Rewrite the right side of the equation so that the middle term is first, the last term is in the middle and the middle term is last

[pic]

Factor [pic]from the last two terms

[pic]

Put the denominator under each term of the numerator

[pic]

Evaluate limit

[pic]

[pic]

So we have the derivative of[pic].

[pic]

By other proofs we can get the derivatives of the other five trigonometric functions. Below are the derivatives of the six trig functions.

3) [pic]

4) [pic]

5) [pic]

6) [pic]

7) [pic]

III. Find the slope of the line tangent to [pic]at [pic]radian
