The derivative of sin(x) is cos(x). Coefficients act like constants and always remain in derivatives. So, the derivative is -2cos(x).

What is the second derivative of y equals 2sinx cosx?

y = 2sin(x)cos(x)Use the product rule: uv' + vu' where u is 2sin(x) and v is cos(x) to find first derivative:y' = 2sin(x)(-sin(x)) + cos(x)2cos(x)Simplify:y' = 2cos2(x)-2sin2(x)y' = 2(cos2(x)-sin2(x))Use trig identity cos(2x) = cos2(x)-sin2(x):y' = 2cos(2x)Take second derivative using chain rule:y'' = 2(-sin(2x)cos(2x))Simplify:y'' = -2sin(2x)(2)Simplify:y'' = -4sin(2x)y'' = -4sin(2x)

How do you differentiate 9 to the power sin squared x sorry I wasn't allowed to use mathematical notation when asking?

derivative of 9[sin(x)]^2 is found by first letting u(x)=[sin(x)]^2. Note that sin2x = [sin(x)]^2, and the ^2 means raising the base to the exponent 2. Find the d(9u(x))/dx using the chain rule. d( 9u(x) )/dx = (d(9u)/du)(du/dx ) , by the chain rule. So we need: d(9u)/du = 9ulog(9) du/dx = d( [sin(x)]^2 )/dx = 2sin(x) d( sin(x) )/dx = 2sin(x)cos(x) Puttin this together gives: d( 9u(x) )/dx = 9u(log(9)) 2sin(x)cos(x) Now substitute in u(x) = [sin(x)]^2. d( 9u(x) )/dx = 9[sin(x)]^2(log(9)) 2sin(x)cos(x) = 2 log(9) 9[sin(x)]^2sin(x)cos(x) or = log(9) 9[sin(x)]^2sin(2x)


Find the second derivative of y equals sin sqaured x?

y = sin2(x) y' = 2sin(x)cos(x) y'' = 2 [ cos(x)cos(x) + sin(x)(-sin(x)) ] = 2 [ cos2(x) - sin2(x) ] = 2 [ 1 - sin2(x) - sin2(x) ] = 2 [ 1 - 2sin2(x) ]

What is the derivative of 3cosx?

The derivative of 3cos(x) is -3sin(x). This can be found using the chain rule, which states that the derivative of a composition of functions is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function, multiplied by the derivative of the inner function. In this case, the derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x), and when multiplied by the constant 3, we get -3sin(x) as the derivative of 3cos(x).
