3.5 Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions What you’ll learn about…. Derivatives of the Sine and Cosine Functions Simple Harmonic Motion Jerk Derivatives of the Tangent, Cotangent, Secant and Cosecant functions
Warm Up: Exploration 1 Page 141 Graph sin x and nderiv(sin (x), x, x) in a trigonometric window Make a conjecture, what function do you believe is the derivative of sin x? If f(x) = sin x, then f’(x) =
Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions
Find
Example 1: Use the product & quotient rules to find the following derivatives
Simple Harmonic Motion The motion of a weight bobbing up and down on the end of a spring is an example of simple harmonic motion. If a weight hanging from a spring is stretched 5 units beyond its resting position (s=0) and released at time t = 0 to bob up and down, its position at any later time t is s = 5 cos t. What is its velocity and acceleration at time t? v(t) = a(t) = Describe its motion. Starts at Amplitude Period Greatest Velocity Greatest Acceleration
What about JERK? A sudden change in acceleration is called a “jerk”. The derivative responsible for jerk is the third derivative of position. Jerk is the derivative of acceleration. If a body’s position at time t is s(t), the body’s jerk at time t is
Example 3: A Couple of Jerks a)FYI The jerk caused by the constant acceleration of gravity (g = -32 ft/sec 2 ) is zero. This explains why we don’t experience motion sickness sitting around! b) Find the jerk of the simple harmonic motion in Example 2.
