"cosh" is tricky, it made me think that it's hyperbollic cosinus for a moment

I'm not really happy with that omission in the last step. After all, the premise was that we are trying to calculate the derivative of sin(x) as if we were doing it for the first time, and we didn't know what it is. Therefore it feels a bit cheating that then at the end you just assume the result of a limit expression without having to prove it.

The last part feels a bit like proof by knowing what the answer is.

For question at 6:55,

alternative solution:

   d/dx(cos(x))
= d/dx(sin(π/2 - x))
= cos(π/2 - x)(0 - 1)
= -sin(x)

TECHNICALLY if you are going to put in 0.0001 h to show it approaches to 1 and zero, you must ALSO put in -0.0001 for h to show it approaches 1 and zero from both sides. Limits approaching from one side isn't always proof of the limit.

I love how confident you are. Other maths channels constantly add filler. Thanks for the video.

Blackpenredpen, Thanks for your dedication, but in case of when lim(h=0)[(sin(x+h)-sin(x))/h] you could to solve more efficiently by using sum product identity trig formula, derived from two angle manipulation. So, to avoid complicated expression we do sin(x+h)-sin(x)= 2*cos((2x+h)/2)*sin(h/2)). Substituting it, gives us this : lim(h=0)[ 2*cos((2x+h)/2)*sin(h/2))/h], if we rephrase this guy to make appropriate for squeeze theorem (I dont know exactly name, but in my country it calls "first excellent limit" smth like this) => lim(h=0)[ as result we receive following cos(x) because 2 and 2 is deleted from consideration as one of them devide against other, lim(x=0) [sin(x)/x]=1 equivalent to lim(h=0) [sin(h/2)/h/2]=1. Also I wanted to mention that you did not explain the reason of why lim(h=0)[cos(h)-1/h]=0, while such monster expression urgently need detailed explanation with mathematical stunt to understand root of topic. However I love your channel, BEST I HAVE EVER WATCHED [SORRY MAYBE FOR GRAMATICAL MISTAKES, BECAUSE MY LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IS NOT ENGLISH IN MY COUNTRY]

There when he states those two limits are 0 and 1, you actually need to use l' Hopital. But that's not fair here, because you need to know the derivative of sinx to do that, which is the very thing you want to prove.

Your calculator probably relies on the taylor expansion off the trig functions to calculate them which again relies on the derivate that we are trying to compute in the first place, so it's basically circular reasoning to do it with the calculator

From 2:33
Using fundamental theorem of trig
(Sin(small x) = x and cos(small)=1)
We get (sinx+hcosx-sinx)/h = hcosx/h = cosx

After at least 5 years of following this channel I was suggested this video. Now I've learned the proof tha the derivative of sinx is cosx. Thanks.

It would be much easier if you considered the limit of (sin(x+h) - sin(x-h))/2h...

Thank you so much! I appreciate how you broke down every section step by step, it was very helpful!

in this example approximations work really REALLY well.

sin(h) ~ h for small numbers -> lim sin(h)/h ~ lim h/h = 1

cos(h) ~ 1 for small numbers -> lim (cos(h) -1)/h ~ lim (1-1)/h = 0

EASY

I wanted this proof.. And you looked smarter in this video than any other one else...

We did it the other way around in school: we defined a function f(x) where f(0)=0, and defined f'(0) to be 1, f''(0)=0, f'''(0)=-1, f''''(0)=0 and so on. Assuming f(x) a polynomial you get a function which is an unlimited sum which approaches sin(x).

Found that fascinating. Not fascinating enough to remember details 25 years later, but still.

Sir
Your teaching method is really different from indian teaching method.

Let me make something simple for you. People who are asking why is lim of Cos h is 1 and lim of Sine h is 1 ??? It' because when we have the h approaching 0(h is same as theta btw). At that time hypotenuse becomes closer and closer and closer to adjacent side. So Cosine h would be 1. And Sine h would be 1 also.
