Apply the quotient rule, which is:
dxdg(x)f(x)=g2(x)−f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=sin(5x) and g(x)=cos(5x).
To find dxdf(x):
-
Let u=5x.
-
The derivative of sine is cosine:
dudsin(u)=cos(u)
-
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by dxd5x:
-
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: 5
The result of the chain rule is:
5cos(5x)
To find dxdg(x):
-
Let u=5x.
-
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
dudcos(u)=−sin(u)
-
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by dxd5x:
-
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: 5
The result of the chain rule is:
−5sin(5x)
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
cos2(5x)5sin2(5x)+5cos2(5x)
