The function
s
(
θ
)
=
θ
sin
θ
s(\theta)=\theta\sin \theta
s
(
θ
)
=
θ
sin
θ
is evaluated on a calculator in radian mode, producing
s
′
(
1
)
≈
1.301
s'(1)\approx1.301
s
′
(
1
)
≈
1.301
. State one reason why this derivative estimate would be different if the calculator were in degree mode instead of radian mode.
