Intuitive Approach to the derivative of y=sin(x)

Key Questions

• Is there a way to find the derivative of sin(x) without limits?

  Well, the derivative of a function is defined using a limit, so if you are finding derivatives, then you are indeed using limits directly or indirectly; however. in most calculus classes, the derivatives of trigonometric functions are remembered as formulas once derived. So, we have the formula

  #(sinx)'=cosx#.
