Exploring the significance of trigonometric functions in representing periodic motion, this overview delves into the derivatives of sine, cosine, tangent, and their reciprocals. It highlights the use of the Chain Rule for complex differentiation and the importance of avoiding common mistakes. The differentiation of inverse trigonometric functions is also discussed, underscoring their role in calculus and the analysis of periodic phenomena.

Periodic motion is characterized by movements that repeat at consistent intervals
Ocean Tides
Ocean tides are an example of periodic motion
Pendulum Swing
The swinging of a pendulum is another example of periodic motion
Periodic functions, particularly trigonometric functions, are used to mathematically model periodic motion due to their cyclical nature
Trigonometric functions are mathematical functions that repeat their values in a predictable pattern
Sine (sin) Function
The sine function represents the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle
Cosine (cos) Function
The cosine function represents the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle
Tangent (tan) Function
The tangent function represents the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle
Cotangent (cot) Function
The cotangent function is the reciprocal of the tangent function
Secant (sec) Function
The secant function is the reciprocal of the cosine function
Cosecant (csc) Function
