Write the equation of the tangent drawn to the curve y = sinx at the point (0, 0).

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given that y = sin x

The slope of the tangent:

For origin (a, b) slope = cos 0 = 1

Equation of the tangent:

So, the equation of the tangent at the point (0, 0)

y-0 = 1(x-0)

⇒ y = x
