This free derivatives of trigonometric functions worksheet helps AP Calculus AB students derive and apply the derivatives of all six trig functions. The 16-page printable PDF covers the two special limits, discovering the derivative of sin x from its graph, and proving the rules for sine, cosine, tangent and secant.
Students also practice the product, quotient and chain rules with trig functions, write tangent and normal lines, find horizontal tangents, compute higher-order derivatives and model simple harmonic motion. Graph matching, mixed review, a challenge problem and a graphing challenge make it ideal for classwork, homework or AP exam review.
