Problem

Consider the trigonometric function f(x)=sin⁡xf(x)=\sin x. a. (a) Write the expression that represents f′(x)f'(x) as a limit. b. (b) Evaluate this limit to establish that ddx(sin⁡x)=cos⁡x\dfrac{d}{dx}(\sin x)=\cos x. c. (c) Hence find the slope of the curve y=sin⁡xy=\sin x at x=π3x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}. Leave your answer in exact form.
