Question: 1 st and 2nd order derivative of the underneath trigonometric function (Eqn.

1)
corresponding to a decrease in value in a range from to .

Answer:

() = sin 2 , 1st order derivative at (1) = ?

Exact solution is () = 0

1 st order derivative:

(+)()
= ( = 101 , 102 , . . 108 )

2nd order derivative:

(+)()
= ( = 101 , 102 , . . 108 )
2

From calculation:

(1 st (2nd

order) order)
0.1 -1.23E-01 -5.55E-18

0.01 -1.23E-02 0

0.001 -1.23E-03 0

0.0001 -1.23E-04 0

0.00001 -1.23E-05 0

0.000001 -1.23E-06 0

0.0000001 -1.23E-07 0
Figure 1. Change in corresponding to increase in .

0.00000001 -1.11E-08 0

0.000000001 0.00E+00 0

Observation: It was observed that for the 1st order differentiation the value approaches to zero
when the value approaches in an order of 10-9. However for the 2nd order differentiation,
the value approaches to zero, when the value approaches in an order of 10-1.
