dy '
f ( x )=sin x , ⇒ =f ( x )=cos x

dy '
f ( x )=cos x , ⇒ =f ( x )=−sin x

Proof
Letu=ax
⇒ y =sin u
dy u∧du
⇒ =cos =a
du dx

hence = =cos u∗a=a cos ax

An alternative method:
The derivative ofsin2 x can also be found by applying the chain rule, a different result is obtained.
Sketching the graphs of y=2sin x cos x and y=sin2 x ,you will find that the two forms are
equivalent.
