  • Correction: at 03:54, I should say “perpendicular to the radius of the circle at the point” for clarity.
    In this video, we investigate the derivative of the sine function experimentally and analytically. The analytic (limit-definition) proof relies on two limits that are often computed geometrically, so this poses the question: is there a visual proof that the derivative of the sine function is cosine? We then show a wonderful visual proof that demonstrates that this derivative fact is true by using a similar triangle argument.

    This is a great concept for a mathematical You Tube channel, thanks for making this channel. Visualizing a mathematical concept is the best way to simultaneously show and understand it. Kudos. This is the proper way to visual medium to teach mathematics. 👍

    Hypotenuse "perpendicular to the circle"? Should it rather be "tangent to the circle and thereby perpendicular to its radius"?

    In the first part of the video, you graphed the derivative of sin(x). After expressing the slope at each point in a graph, you asked whether the graph was cos(x). This was very impressive to me. This was because I had not thought about the differentiation of sin(x) in that way. thanks

    I'm confused on one part... at 3:54, how are you getting that one of the non right angles has to be complementary to theta? I feel like there's some geometry knowledge I'm missing here :(

    • @MathVisualProofs
      @MathVisualProofs  5 місяців тому

      Theta is complementary to alpha. And then in the picture the radius of circle is perpendicular to the hypotenuse of the triangle (tangent to circle). We already have a theta angle in the 90 degree angle for those two. The remaining angle, which is the triangle angle, must be complementary to angle - so it’s alpha.

      1 is the change in x and the other is the change in y. Together, they make the slope.

    Ummm. Hold on. Sin(0) = 0, so sin(h)/h as h goes to 0 is technically 0/0, and further limit rules must be applied to get to the correct result that the limit approaches 1. Other than that, sure.
    Welllllll… actually… there’s another nit: the derivative definition provided is predicated on a definition of cosine and sine themselves because the sum angle formula was used to get at the expansion used to come to the result of cos(x)
    But the visual derivation was nice.

    • @godfreypigott

    Wait, why is sin(h)/h=1?
    h=0.000000000...
    So sin(h) should equal 0.000000...
    So 0.0000000.../0.0000000...=1
    But if thats true then why in the hell does
    Coss(h)-1=0?
    Coss(h) should be equal to 0.999999999999999999... and then 0.999999...-1 should equal -0.000000000...=-h
    So why is it not
    Sin(x) times (-h/h) which would give -sin(x)
    Then -sin(x) +coss(x)
    Im not understanding please explain pleeeeeeeeease

    • @MathVisualProofs

      You have to really examine these two limits. You can use a calculator to get heuristic answers, but if you plug in, say, h=0.0000000001 into sin(h)/h, you will get a value close to 1. You can use a geometric argument to prove that the limit is 1.

      Both sin(h) and cos(h)-1 are close to 0 for small h but the latter is much closer.
      You can see this if you start at (1, 0) and go up slowly along the unit circle. The y coordinate increases at about the same rate as the arclength while the x coordinate almost doesnt change. This kinda describes the difference between the two limits.
