Apply the product rule:
dxdf(x)g(x)=f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=sin(x)cos(x); to find dxdf(x):
-
Apply the product rule:
dxdf(x)g(x)=f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=cos(x); to find dxdf(x):
-
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
dxdcos(x)=−sin(x)
g(x)=sin(x); to find dxdg(x):
-
The derivative of sine is cosine:
dxdsin(x)=cos(x)
The result is: −sin2(x)+cos2(x)
g(x)=cos(2x); to find dxdg(x):
-
Let u=2x.
-
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
dudcos(u)=−sin(u)
-
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by dxd2x:
-
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
-
Apply the power rule: x goes to 1
So, the result is: 2
The result of the chain rule is:
−2sin(2x)
The result is: (−sin2(x)+cos2(x))cos(2x)−2sin(x)sin(2x)cos(x)
