x /x\ a*-*sin|-| 3 \3/
(a*(x/3))*sin(x/3)
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the product rule:
; to find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
; to find :
Let .
The derivative of sine is cosine:
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The result is:
So, the result is:
To find :
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
