B. DERIVATIVES OF THE SIX TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

C. SAMPLE PROBLEMS

1) y =sin3x + cos2x
𝑑 𝑑
y’ = cos(3x) * 𝑑𝑥 (3𝑥) + -sin(2x) * 𝑑𝑥 (2𝑥)

y’ = cos(3x) * 3 + (-sin(2x) * 2

y’ = 3cos(3x) -2sin(2x)

2) y =tan(x2)
𝑑
y’ = sec2(x2) * 𝑑𝑥 (x 2 ) = sec2(x2) * 2𝑥

y’ = 2x sec2(x2)

3) y =cot (1-2x2)
𝑑
y’ = −csc2(1-2x2) * 𝑑𝑥 (1 − 2x 2 )

y’ = −csc2(1-2x2) * (−4x)

y’ = 4x csc2(1-2x2)

4) y =tan2 (x)

y=(tan(x))2
𝑑 𝑑
y’ = 2𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝑥)2-1 * 𝑑𝑥 (𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝑥)) * 𝑑𝑥 (𝑥)

y’ = 2𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝑥) * 𝑠𝑒𝑐 2 𝑥 * (1)

y’ = 𝟐𝒕𝒂𝒏(𝒙) 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝟐 (𝒙)

5) y =sec3 √𝒙

𝑑 𝑑
y’ = 3(𝑠𝑒𝑐(𝑥 2 ))3-1 * 𝑑𝑥 (𝑠𝑒𝑐(𝑥 2 )) * 𝑑𝑥 (𝑥 2 )

y’ = =
2√𝑥 𝟐√𝒙

6) y = x2sinx

Apply product rule = udv+vdu , let u= 𝑥 2 let v =sinx

𝑑 𝑑
y’ = 𝑥 2 * 𝑑𝑥 (𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥) + 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 ∗ 𝑑𝑥 (𝑥 2 )

y’ = 𝑥 2 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥(2x)

y’ = 𝒙𝟐 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒙 + 𝟐𝐱𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒙

𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒙
7) y =
𝒙
𝑣𝑑𝑢−𝑢𝑑𝑣
Apply quotient rule = , let u= cosx , let v =x
𝑣2
𝑑 𝑑
(𝑥) (𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥) − (𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥) (𝑥)
y’ = 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝑥2

𝑥(−𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥) − (𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥)(1)
y’= 𝑥2

−𝒙𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒙 − 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒙
y’=
