Apply the quotient rule, which is:
dxdg(x)f(x)=g2(x)−f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=sin(8x) and g(x)=cos(8x).
To find dxdf(x):
-
Let u=8x.
-
The derivative of sine is cosine:
dudsin(u)=cos(u)
-
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by dxd8x:
-
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: 8
The result of the chain rule is:
8cos(8x)
To find dxdg(x):
-
Let u=8x.
-
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
dudcos(u)=−sin(u)
-
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by dxd8x:
-
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: 8
The result of the chain rule is:
−8sin(8x)
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
cos2(8x)8sin2(8x)+8cos2(8x)
