Differentiate the following with respect to x.
sin2 x
Advertisements
Solution
For the following problems chain rule to be used:
`"d"/"dx"` f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) . g'(x)
`"d"/"dx"` [f(x)]n = n[f(x)]n-1 × `"d"/"dx"`f(x)
Let y = sin2 x = (sin x)2
`"dy"/"dx" = 2(sin x)^(2-1) "d"/"dx" (sin x)`
= 2 sin x (cos x)
= sin 2x
