Find the derivative of the constant function f(x) = sin(pi/3).
Model Answer & Options
Source: Extra Practicecos(pi/3)
1/2
0
sqrt(3)/2
Explanation
Even though it looks like a trigonometric function, sin(pi/3) is a constant value (sqrt(3)/2). The derivative of any constant with respect to x is always 0. Option A is a common trap where students differentiate the sine part without realizing it's a constant. Options B and D are just values of trig functions, not derivatives.
