    The document provides examples of using the chain rule to find derivatives of trigonometric functions. It explains that the chain rule involves taking the derivative of the outermost function first while leaving the inner function untouched, and then multiplying by the derivative of the inner function. For f(x) = sin(2x), the derivative is 2 cos(2x) using the chain rule. For f(x) = tan(4x^2), the derivative is 8x sec^2(4x^2) by the same process.

    Topic: Chain rule with trig functions

    Question: Use chain rule to find the derivative of the function.

    f (x) = sin(2x)

    Answer choices:

    A f′(x) = 2 cos(2x)

    B f′(x) = 2 sin(2x)

    C f′(x) = 2 sin x

    D f′(x) = 2 cos x

    63
    Solution: A

    Chain rule tells us to always work from the outside-in, taking the derivative
    of the outside function first, leaving the inside function untouched, and
    then to multiply the result by the derivative of the inside function.

    To find the derivative of the given function

    f (x) = sin(2x)

    we’ll take the derivative of sin, leaving the inside function untouched, and
    then we’ll multiply that result by the derivative of the inside function 2x.
    Because the derivative of sin x is cos x we get

    d
    f′(x) = cos(2x) (2x)
    dx

    f′(x) = cos(2x)(2)

    f′(x) = 2 cos(2x)

    Topic: Chain rule with trig functions

    Question: Use chain rule to find the derivative of the function.

    f (x) = tan (4x 2)

    Answer choices:

    A f′(x) = 8 sec2 (4x 2)

    B f′(x) = 8 sec (4x 2)

    C f′(x) = 8x sec2 (4x 2)

    D f′(x) = 8x sec (4x 2)

    65
    Solution: C

    Chain rule tells us to always work from the outside-in, taking the derivative
    of the outside function first, leaving the inside function untouched, and
    then to multiply the result by the derivative of the inside function.

    To find the derivative of the given function

    f (x) = tan (4x 2)

    we’ll take the derivative of tan, leaving the inside function untouched, and
    then we’ll multiply that result by the derivative of the inside function 4x 2.
    Because the derivative of tan x is sec2 x we get

    d
    f′(x) = sec (4x ) (4x 2)
    2 2
    dx

    f′(x) = sec2 (4x 2)(8x)

    f′(x) = 8x sec2 (4x 2)
