Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions
The derivatives of the six trigonometric functions are summarized as follows:

sin x = cos x
dx

cos x = − sin x

tan x = sec2 x

cot x = − csc2 x

We can obtain the derivatives of the co-functions by adding negative signs and switching each corresponding term
from the derivative of the three trigonometric functions.

The Chain Rule
If g is differentiable at x and f is differentiable at g(x), then the composite function F = f ◦ g is differentiable at x
and
F 0 (x) = f 0 (g(x)) · g 0 (x).
In Leibniz notation, if y = f (u) and g = u(x) are differentiable functions then

Implicit Differentiation
Suppose the relation between x and y is given as f (x, y) = 0, for example x2 + y 2 − r2 = 0. To obtain the derivative
dy/dx, we simply differentiate both sides by treating y as a function of x.
With implicit differentiation, we can obtain the derivatives of the six inverse trigonometric functions:

If f (x) is a complicted function involving products, quotients or powers, we may apply logarithms:
y = f (x) ⇒ ln y = ln f (x)
and differentiate implicitly to obtain f 0 (x).
