Answer on Question #47076 – Math – Differential Calculus | Equations
Question:
Differentiate with respect to x, if y=4x3⋅sinx
a. 4x2(xcosx+sinx)
b. 4x2(cosx+3sinx)
c. 4x2(xcosx+3sinx)
d. 4x2(xcosx−3sinx)
Solution:
The product rule: For the functions f and g, the derivative of the function h(x)=f(x)g(x) with respect to x is the following:
h′(x)=f(x)g′(x)+f′(x)g(x)
Therefore:
y′=4x3(sinx)′+(4x3)′sinx=4x3cosx+4⋅3x2sinx=4x2(xcosx+3sinx)
Answer: c. 4x2(xcosx+3sinx)
