Apply the quotient rule, which is:
dxdg(x)f(x)=g2(x)−f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=xsin(5) and g(x)=x3.
To find dxdf(x):
-
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: sin(5)
To find dxdg(x):
-
Apply the power rule: x3 goes to 3x2
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
−x32sin(5)
