2017年11月24日 · d/dx cos(ax) = -asin(ax) Using the chain rule, we have: d/dx cos(ax) = -sin(ax) d/dx(ax) " " = -asin(ax)

2017年2月7日 · d/dxcos^(-1)(x) = -1/sqrt(1 -x^2) When tackling the derivative of inverse trig functions. I prefer to rearrange and use Implicit differentiation as I always get the inverse derivatives muddled up, and this way I do not need to remember the inverse derivatives. If you can remember the inverse derivatives then you can use the chain rule. Let y=cos^(-1)(x) <=> cosy=x Differentiate Implicitly ...

2017年1月13日 · d/(dx) cos(xy) = -(y+x(dy)/(dx))sin(xy) Use the chain rule: d/(dx) cos(xy) = -sin(xy) *d/(dx) (xy) then the product rule: -sin(xy) *d/(dx) (xy) = -sin(xy) (y+x(dy)/(dx))

2014年8月22日 · Using the definition of a derivative: dy/dx = lim_(h->0) (f(x+h)-f(x))/h, where h = deltax We substitute in our function to get: lim_(h->0) (cos(x+h)-cos(x))/h Using the Trig identity: cos(a+b) = cosacosb - sinasinb, we get: lim_(h->0) ((cosxcos h - sinxsin h)-cosx)/h Factoring out the cosx term, we get: lim_(h->0) (cosx(cos h-1) - sinxsin h)/h This can be …

2014年8月6日 · We will need to employ the chain rule. The chain rule states: d/dx[f(g(x))] = d/(d[g(x)])[f(x)] * d/dx[g(x)] In other words, just treat x^2 like a whole variable, differentiate the outside function first, then multiply by the derivative of x^2. We know that the derivative of cosu is -sin u, where u is anything - in this case it is x^2. And the derivative of …

2014年8月10日 · In f(x) = ln(cos(x)), we have a function of a function (it's not multiplication, just sayin'), so we need to use the chain rule for derivatives: #d/dx(f(g(x)) = f'(g(x))*g'(x)# For this problem, with f(x) = ln(x) and g(x) = cos(x), we have f '(x) = 1/x and g'(x) = - sin(x), then we plug g(x) into the formula for f '( * ).

2014年12月18日 · The derivative of cos^3(x) is equal to: -3cos^2(x)*sin(x) You can get this result using the Chain Rule which is a formula for computing the derivative of the composition of two or more functions in the form: f(g(x)). You can see that the function g(x) is nested inside the f( ) function. Deriving you get: derivative of f(g(x)) --> f'(g(x))*g'(x) In this case the f( ) …
