Moreover, if x is measured in radians, then


v)

and

vi)

Using these properties, prove each of the following statements.


a) The functions sin x and cos x are continuous at 0.


b) The functions sin x and cos x are continuous on R.


c) The limits

exist.


d) The function sin x is differentiable on R with (sin x)′ = cos x.


e) The functions cos x and tan x := sin x/ cos x are differentiable on R with (cos x)′ = −sin x and (tan x)′ = sec2 x.
