I like to always study things before others so I have a better time understanding them when they're eventually taught. I've just finished my trigonometry book and before this comment, I had seen a video explaining what derivatives are, so I had wondered what the derivative of different functions were.

    I am kind of sad that you chose to present this fact this way, because the derivation of that fact can be seen even nicer in a visual form, by looking at a point P on the unit circle with angle theta from the x-axis and moving it a tiny step Δtheta to obtain P'. Draw a vertical line through P and a horizontal line through P' which intersect at Q to obtain a right triangle PQP' such that angle QPP' ≈ theta. As |PP'| ≈ Δtheta, we obtain that
    sin'(theta) ≈ |PQ|/|PP'| ≈ cos(theta). This proof is not rigorous but can easily be made into a rigorous argument.

      Yes. I like that one. I’ll try that one in long format. This one is part of a series about graphing derivatives as you walk along the curve. This is more for my students as we think about increasing/decreasing behavior and how the derivative captures that. The shorts format is still tough for me to say something very interesting.

    Anyway, to anyone who wants to try this, you can use y=f'(t)(x-t)+f(t), and initialise f(x) as whatever differentiable function you want, and t as a parameter. This function will generate a tangent line on the curve at point (t,f(t)).
    This works on desmos btw. If you can't write f'(t), try d/dt(f(t)) instead.

      What he's done here, is a visual inspection of the key points. The slope of sin(x) at x=0 is +1, and at sin(pi/2) it's zero, and then -1 at sin(pi). Mapping the derivative, and we see it resembles cos(x).
      To prove this formally, you construct the definition of the derivative from first principles.
      d/dx sin(x) = (sin(x + h) - sin(x))/h
      Then use the angle sum identity to unpack sin(x + h). This gives us:
      sin(x)*cos(h) + sin(h)*cos(x)
      Reconstruct:
      [sin(x)*(cos(h) - 1) + sin(h)*cos(x)
      ]/h
      In the limit as h goes to zero, cos(h) approaches 1, so the first term goes away. We're left with:
      cos(x)*sin(h)/h
      Now we just need to prove sin(h)/h = 1. This can be proven by the squeeze theorem (yes, that really is its name). By bounding h between sin(h) and tan(h), you can show that sin(h)/h is trapped between two expressions that both approach 1 as h approaches zero. I'll leave it to you to look up the method.

    Why are the progressions on one axis more than the ones on the other? In an activity which I have to write down in which we have to make the graph of inverse of sin(x) with the graph of sin(x), we are instructed to make the progressions on x-axis 1.25 times that on y-axis, and i don't understand why.
    It appears that the graph here is the one we're supposed to draw, and i just can't because I need to understand why first.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Seems like a completely arbitrary choice to make it that way. I don't see any advantage to that particular ratio.
      For trig functions, it usually helps to make your graph on one axis in terms of pi/4, which is approx 0.785. Or even pi/2, which is approx 1.57. This is because the points of interest on the sine and cosine functions happen at x-values that are multiples of pi/4. But I don't see the advantage of a ratio of 1.25 between the two axis scales.

      ​@@solaokusanya955 heres how it was explained to me. Imagine a function on a graph that isnt linear, like sin(x) or x^2. If we choose 2 points on the function, we can calculate the rate of change. For example, if we plot a line that goes through (0,0) and (10,100) over x^2 we can see that the rate of change for that interval is 10. Now, what if we move x=10 to 4? The line goes through (0,0) and (4,16) and the rate of change is now 4. A derivative is what happens when you move the second point to a point which is basically the first plus an infinitesimal amount. So, the line goes through (0,0) and (0+h, (0+h)^2) where h = 1/infinity. Now, the rate of change is 0.

      If you are asking whether sine and cosine are each others' derivatives, the short answer is almost. For their "cousin" functions of cosh(x) and sinh(x), they are each others' derivatives, but that's a topic for another day.
      The derivatives of sine and cosine follow a 4-part cycle:
      f(x) = sin(x)
      f'(x) = cos(x)
      f"(x) = -sin(x)
      f'''(x) = -cos(x)
      The 4th derivative begins the next repeat of this cycle.

    Love your videos, but this derivative series is just not doing it for me. You’re barely visualizing anything here.

      Thanks for the feedback. I use these visualizations in my class as students think about how to see the derivative of a function from its graph. Thought it could be helpful. I have another in the queue that shows how the derivative is defined. But it’s hard to get into shorts format so far so I just put these up :)

    cannot draw a tangent line with one point

    • @MathVisualProofs

      False. If you compute the derivative at that point then you can draw the tangent line with one point (of course the def of the deriv requires many points ;) ).

      ​@@MathVisualProofs​Is _"only one point is required if you have the slope"_ a visual-proof type of thing? I ask because I have something in two points...but proofs are a foreign land to me.

      @@oddlyspecificmath I mean if you know calculus and the techniques involved, the idea is you can compute the derivative of a function and that function outputs the slope of the tangent line. So all you need is the derivative function and you can draw the tangent line with one point. However, this is a bit circular because to define the derivative function you need a limiting process finding slopes of secant lines. This particular visualization is not a proof (despite my channel name sometimes I just show visualizations that I like or utilize in my teaching). This one is to give the suggestion that the derivative of sine is cosine, but this is not a proof.

      @@oddlyspecificmath I mean, the derivative is, by definition, a limit. However, many modern differential calculus classes focus on how to find derivatives without using limits. So I am not sure what you mean.

    This way of ecplaining is really arrogant and its like playing hard to get. Just ecplain it with eg y=15 and a few other easy formulas. In middle school it is also not teached this way!!!!!

    Ok EVERYONE needs to be briefed here on the notation of a function.
    2 cases if you have an f and an x in your sentence
    1) you are writing f(x). x needs to be introduced before. So you are writing a NUMBER just like 7 or 1/π.
    2) you are writing f. You are therefore writing a FUNCTION. In linear algebra, it's a vector and no one would ever allow you to say that f(x) is a vector. You don't have any idea of what does it look like, without EVALUATING in a point (within its set of definition)
    Examples:
    i) "Because f' is positive on D, then f is an increasing function on D"
    In other words
    " Because for all x in D, f'(x)≥0, then f in an increasing function on D."
    ii) " Let f defined by for all x in R, f(x) =sin(x). Then, as f is derivable on R, for all x in R, f'(x) = cos(x). Or f= sin therefore f'= cosx.
    I hope that I had been easy to understand.
    Let me know if there's any questions.
