Hey all,
I've just come to a question for Calculus 1 (at Uni) which I'm drawing blanks with.
Basically I have to differentiate:
y=Cosx Via limit definition (obviously
dy/dx=−Sinx, although that's what we have to
prove/show via limit definition)
In the question we're also given the following:
limx→0xSinx=1 And a "may or may not be useful, depending on your method":
limx→0x(Cosx−1)=1 Any pointers would be greatly appreciated
I tried plugging
y=Cosx into the limit/derivative formula, but ended up drawing a blank because we'd end up looking for
limh→0h=0 in the denominator, which is an obvious pitfall.
And I can't see of a way of using the Substitution Law (albeit I'm not too confident on that law yet)
Thanks
Tristan
