The derivative of sin (x) is cos (x). It does not work the other way around, though. The derivative of cos (x) is -sin (x).
(cos x sin x) / (cos x sin x) = 1. The derivative of a constant, such as 1, is zero.
For example. d/dx sin^-1 X = 1/sqrt(1 - x^2) Probably derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
If you reflect a function across the line y=x, you will have a graph of the inverse. For trigonometric problems: y = sin(x) has the inverse x=sin(y) or y = sin-1(x)
Write sec x as a function of sines and cosines (in this case, sec x = 1 / cos x). Then use the division formula to take the first derivative. Take the derivative of the first derivative to get the second derivative. Reminder: the derivative of sin x is cos x; the derivative of cos x is - sin x.
