if f(x)=sinx   ,  f^((n)) (x) =sin(x+((nπ)/2))   with n≥1  and  f^((0)) =f  let prove this by recurrence we have f^((1)) (x)=cos(x) =sin(x+(π/2))  let  suppose the equality true at term n  ⇒f^((n+1)) (x) =(f^((n)) (x))^′   =(sin(x+((nπ)/2)))^′  =cos(x+((nπ)/2)) =sin(x+((nπ)/2) +(π/2)) =sin(x+(((n+1)π)/2))  the result is proved .

y=sinx  (dy/dx)=y_1 =cosx=sin((π/2)+x)  y_2 =−sinx=sin(2×(π/2)+x)  y_3 =−cosx=sin(3×(π/2)+x)  y_4 =sinx=sin(4×(π/2)+x)  y_n =sin(n×(π/2)+x)  here n=9  y_9 =sin(9×(π/2)+x)

$${y}={sinx} \\ $$$$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}={y}_{\mathrm{1}} ={cosx}={sin}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}+{x}\right) \\ $$$${y}_{\mathrm{2}} =−{sinx}={sin}\left(\mathrm{2}×\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}+{x}\right) \\ $$$${y}_{\mathrm{3}} =−{cosx}={sin}\left(\mathrm{3}×\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}+{x}\right) \\ $$$${y}_{\mathrm{4}} ={sinx}={sin}\left(\mathrm{4}×\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}+{x}\right) \\ $$$${y}_{{n}} ={sin}\left({n}×\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}+{x}\right) \\ $$$${here}\:{n}=\mathrm{9} \\ $$$${y}_{\mathrm{9}} ={sin}\left(\mathrm{9}×\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}+{x}\right) \\ $$
