Apply the quotient rule, which is:
dxdg(x)f(x)=g2(x)−f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=sin(3x) and g(x)=e2x.
To find dxdf(x):
-
Let u=3x.
-
The derivative of sine is cosine:
dudsin(u)=cos(u)
-
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by dxd3x:
-
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: 3
The result of the chain rule is:
3cos(3x)
To find dxdg(x):
-
Let u=2x.
-
The derivative of eu is itself.
-
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:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
(−2e2xsin(3x)+3e2xcos(3x))e−4x
