differentiate y= sin^2 x^3
Answers
Answer:
What is the derivative of sin^2 x^2?
There are two best ways to do this that I see.
Use the chain rule twice
Use the product rule and the chain rule
Starting with my preferred method #1.
First you want to identify the outermost “chain.” f=x^2, g=sin(x^2)
Then, you move inward. h=sin(x), j=(x^2)
You apply the chain rule to this:
h=sin(x) h’=cos(x)
j=x^2 j’=2x
h’(j(x))*j’(x)=2xcos(x^2).
With this, we move out
f=x^2 f’=2x
g=sin(x^2) g’=2xcos(x^2)
f’(g(x))*g’(x)=4xsin(x^2)cos(x^2)
The derivative of sin^2(x^2)=4xsin(x^2)cos(x^2).
2. Use product and chain rule
sin^2(x^2)=sin(x^2)*sin(x^2)
f=sin(x^2) f’=2xcos(x^2)
g=sin(x^2) g’=2xcos(x^2)
f’g+g’f= 2xcos(x^2)sin(x^2)+2xcos(x^2)sin(x^2)=4xsin(x^2)cos(x^2)
The derivative of sin^2(x^2)=4xsin(x^2)cos(x^2)
