Hence<br />
1 − cos(dx)<br />
dx<br />
is an infinitesimal. Moreover, from (1.5.36), we know that<br />
(1.7.57)<br />
Hence<br />
sin(dx)<br />
dx<br />
≃ 1. (1.7.58)<br />
dy<br />
≃ cos(x)(1) − sin(x)(0) = cos(x) (1.7.59)<br />
dx<br />
and<br />
dw<br />
≃−sin(x)(1) + cos(x)(0) = − sin(x) (1.7.60)<br />
dx<br />
Thatis,wehaveshownthefollowing.<br />
Theorem 1.7.11. For all real values x,<br />
d<br />
sin(x) =cos(x) (1.7.61)<br />
dx<br />
and<br />
d<br />
cos(x) =− sin(x). (1.7.62)<br />
dx<br />
Example 1.7.22. Using the chain rule,<br />
d<br />
dx cos(4x) =− sin(4x) d (4x) =−4sin(4x).<br />
dt<br />
Example 1.7.23. If f(t) =sin 2 (t), then, again using the chain rule,<br />
f ′ (t) =2sin(t) d sin(t) =2sin(t) cos(t).<br />
dt<br />
Example 1.7.24. If g(x) =cos(x 2 ), then<br />
g ′ (x) =− sin(x 2 )(2x) =−2x cos(x 2 ).<br />
Example 1.7.25. If f(x) =sin 3 (4x), then, using the chain rule twice,<br />
f ′ (x) =3sin 2 (4x) d<br />
dx sin(4x) = 12 sin2 (4x)cos(4x).<br />
Exercise 1.7.19.<br />
Find the derivatives of<br />
y =cos(3t +6)andw =sin 2 (t)cos 2 (4t).
