Derivative of sinx from First Principles A’Level Calculus Core Proof

Can you prove the derivative of $\sin(x)$ from first principles? 🧐

In this Smart A’Level Maths tutorial, we dive deep into one of the most fundamental proofs in Calculus. This derivation is a "core proof" for A’Level Mathematics (Edexcel, AQA, OCR, and CIE) and frequently appears in exam papers as a 4 to 6-mark question.We don't just show you the result; we walk through the rigorous mathematical logic required to get there.

🔍 In this lesson, you will learn:How to apply the definition of the derivative:$$f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}$$

How to use the Sine Addition Identity:$\sin(A + B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B$
How to handle the Small Angle Approximations and limits:$\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sin h}{h} = 1$$\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\cos h - 1}{h} = 0$
Whether you are prepping for your mocks or sitting your final A’Level exams, mastering this proof is essential for a top grade.🚀
