Solution

- The function given is


f(x)=\sin x

- We are asked to find


f^(\prime)((\pi)/(3))

- The differentiation of the sine function gives:


f^(\prime)(x)=(d)/(dx)(\sin x)=\cos x

- Thus, we can solve the question by simply substituting π/3 into the function f'(x).

- That is,


\begin{gathered} f^(\prime)(x)=\cos x \\ put\text{ }x=(\pi)/(3) \\ \\ \therefore f^(\prime)((\pi)/(3))=\cos(\pi)/(3)=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Final Answer

The answer is


f^(\prime)((\pi)/(3))=(1)/(2)
