Find derivative of square root sin x by first principle.

  • -1

f'(x)=limh0sin(x+h)sinxh

Using sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+sinBcosA we get

f'(x)=limh0sinxcosh+sinhcosxsinxh
f'(x)=limh0sinx(cosh1)+sinhcosxh
f'(x)=limh0(sinx(cosh1)h+sinhcosxh)

f'(x)=limh0sinx(cosh1)h+limh0sinhcosxh

f'(x)=(sinx)limh0cosh1h+(cosx)limh0sinhh

We know have to rely on some standard limits:

limh0sinhh=1
limh0cosh1h=0

And so using these we have:

f'(x)=0+(cosx)(1)=cosx

Hence,

ddxsinx=cosx
