Differentiate - Trig?

  • Differentiate the following:

    y= x^2sinxtanx


  • Trig--- is a child of Sarah Palin


  • y=x^2sin(x)tan(x)
    dy/dx= x^2{sin(x) sec^2(x) + tan(x)cos(x)} + 2x sin(x) tan(x)
    =x.tan(x) {x[sec(x)+cos(x)] + 2sin(x)}


  • This can be found by using a variation of the product rule or you could use the product rule twice.

    d/dx (uvw) = du/dx vw + u dv/dx w + uv dw/dx

    Let u = x²; du/dx = 2x
    v = sinx; dv/dx = cosx
    w = tanx; dw/dx = sec²x

    Then d/dx (x² sinx tanx) becomes

    2x sinx tanx + x² cosx tanx + x² sinx sec²x

    Alternatively you could let u = x² sinx and v = tanx and use the standard product rule. You would then need to use it again for the product x² sinx.



  • y = x^2 . sin x . tan x ---------[1]

    u = sin x . tan x ---------[2]
    v = x^2-------[3]

    From [2] =>
    u = sin x . tan x
    du/dx = sin x . (sec^2 (x)) + tan x . (cos x) ; product rule
    du/dx = sin x . sec^2 (x) + tan x . cos x
    du/dx = (sin x / cos^2 (x)) + (sin x / cos x) . cos x
    *du/dx =( tan x / cos x) + sin x---------------[4]

    from [3] =>
    v = x^2
    *dv/dx = 2x ----------[5]

    lets substitute u,v from [2] and [3] to our main eq [1]
    y = (v) . (u) ; differentiate for production

    dy / dx = {(v) . [du/dx]} + {(u) . [dv/dx] } ;

    Next substitute values from [2] [3] [4] & [5]

    dy / dx = { x^2 .[ ( tan x / cos x) + sin x] } + { sin x . tan x . [2x] }
    u can simplyfy the answer further if you want
    The more the merrier!!


  • You must clarify question.
    Is it :-
    y = (x²) sin x tan x
    OR
    y = x^(2 sin x) tan x
    OR
    y = x^(2 sin x tan x)
