Homework Statement



What's the 39th derivative of cosx?



Homework Equations



1st dy/dx: -sin x
2nd: -cosx
3rd: sinx
4th; cosx


The Attempt at a Solution



So it repeats every 4
so I used 39/4 and for a remainder of 3 so is is the 3rd one down?

I got sin x but I don't know if that's the way its supposed to be done ( the remainder is the number of derivative the answer is)

Yes, this is the way it should be done.
