Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} g{\left(x \right)} = f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}

    f(x)=3sin2(x)f{\left(x \right)} = 3 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}; to find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

    1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

      1. Let u=sin(x)u = \sin{\left(x \right)}.

      2. Apply the power rule: u2u^{2} goes to 2u2 u

      3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddxsin(x)\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)}:

        1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

          ddxsin(x)=cos(x)\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}

        The result of the chain rule is:

        2sin(x)cos(x)2 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}

      So, the result is: 6sin(x)cos(x)6 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}

    g(x)=cos(x)g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}; to find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

      ddxcos(x)=sin(x)\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}

    The result is: 3sin3(x)+6sin(x)cos2(x)- 3 \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} + 6 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}

  2. Now simplify:

    9sin3(x)+6sin(x)- 9 \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} + 6 \sin{\left(x \right)}


The answer is:

9sin3(x)+6sin(x)- 9 \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} + 6 \sin{\left(x \right)}
