What is the derivative of sinπx?
The derivative with respect to 'x' of sin(pi x) ispi cos(pi x)
What is the derivative of y equals sin times x to the power of 2?
D(y)= sin 2x
How do you differentiate sine x squared?
Using the Chain Rule :derivative of (sinx)2 = 2(sinx)1 * (derivative of sinx)d/dx (Sinx)2 = 2(sinx)1 * [d/dx (Sinx)]d/dx (Sinx)2 = 2(sinx) * (cosx)d/dx (Sinx)2 = 2 (sinx) * (cosx)d/dx (Sinx)2 = 2 sin(x) * cos(x)
What is the derivative of x2 plus 6 divided by 2?
Following the correct order of operations: derivative of x^2 + 6/2 = derivative of x^2 +3, which equals 2x
What is the derivative of the square root of cos x?
To find the derivatve of the square root of cos x: Use the chain rule; this means multiply the inner derivative by the outer derivative. You can write the question f(x) = (cos x)1/2 This general break-down explains how to find d/dx f(x) note: d/dx basically symbolizes "the derivative of" In general terms: f(x) = x1/2 g(x) = cos x f(g(x)) = (cos x)1/2 outer derivative: d/dx f(z) = (1/2)*x-1/2 = 1/(4cos x)1/2 inner derivative: d/dx g(x) = -sin(x) final answer: d/dx f(g(x)) = -sin(x)/(4*cos x)1/2 note: d/dx means "the derivative of"; so d/dx x = 1 Further explained: Set up the equation to a more general form: (cos x)1/2 To make the inner derivative, look at cos(x) To make the outer derivative, look at x1/2 note: x ~ cos x; so we treat (cos x) simply as x, to create the outer derivative You probably know the necessary derivates: 1. derivative of cos x = -sin x 2. derivative of a1/2 = (1/2)*a-1/2 = 1/(4a)1/2 Multiplying the two we get the answer: -sin(x)/(4cos x)1/2
