Apply the quotient rule, which is:
dxdg(x)f(x)=g2(x)−f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=sin(log(x)) and g(x)=x.
To find dxdf(x):
-
Let u=log(x).
-
The derivative of sine is cosine:
dudsin(u)=cos(u)
-
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by dxdlog(x):
-
The derivative of log(x) is x1.
The result of the chain rule is:
xcos(log(x))
To find dxdg(x):
-
Apply the power rule: x goes to 1
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
x2−sin(log(x))+cos(log(x))
