2*(a*cos(2*t) + sin(2*t))
2*(a*cos(2*t) + sin(2*t))
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
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:
So, the result is:
