Start by computing the first derivative of cos(x). The derivative of cos(x) with respect to x is -sin(x).
Compute the second derivative. The derivative of -sin(x) is -cos(x).
Compute the third derivative. The derivative of -cos(x) is sin(x).
Compute the fourth derivative. The derivative of sin(x) is cos(x).
Notice the pattern: the derivatives cycle every four steps: cos(x), -sin(x), -cos(x), sin(x). Use this pattern to determine the 999th derivative by finding the remainder when 999 is divided by 4.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions

Understanding the derivatives of basic trigonometric functions is essential. The derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x), and the derivative of sin(x) is cos(x). This cyclical pattern continues, with the derivative of -sin(x) being -cos(x), and the derivative of -cos(x) being sin(x). Recognizing this cycle helps in computing higher-order derivatives.

Introduction to Trigonometric Functions

Higher-Order Derivatives

Higher-order derivatives involve taking the derivative of a function multiple times. For trigonometric functions like cos(x), the derivatives repeat in a cycle every four derivatives. This means that the nth derivative can be determined by finding the remainder of n divided by 4, which indicates the position in the cycle.

Pattern Recognition in Derivatives

Identifying patterns in derivatives is crucial for efficiently computing higher-order derivatives. By observing the cyclical nature of the derivatives of cos(x), one can predict the 999th derivative by recognizing that it corresponds to the third position in the cycle, which is -sin(x). This pattern recognition simplifies the computation process significantly.

Fruit flies (Continuation of Example 4, Section 2.1.) Populations starting out in closed environments grow slowly at first, when there are relatively few members, then more rapidly as the number of reproducing individuals increases and resources are still abundant, then slowly again as the population reaches the carrying capacity of the environment.


b. During what days does the population seem to be increasing fastest? Slowest?
