Differentiating sin x ,cos x∧tan x

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

Show that the derivative of sin ax=a cos ax

 Proof

Letu=ax

⇒ y =sin u

dy u∧du
⇒ =cos =a
du dx

dy
∗du
dy du
hence = =cos u∗a=a cos ax
dx dx

Show that the derivative of tan x=sec 2 x

 Proof
sin x dy
Let y=tan x=¿ , thenwe require .¿
cos x dx

Using the quotient rule:

Letu=sin x∧v =cos x

du dv
⇒ =cos x∧¿ =−sin x ¿
dx dx

v∗du dv
−u
dy x dx
hence = =cos x∗cos x−sin x∗¿ ¿ ¿ ¿¿

An alternative method:

The derivative ofsin2 x can also be found by applying the chain rule, a different result is obtained.

 If y=sin2 x ,let u=sin x∧⇒ y =u2


du x∧dy
 ¿ =cos =2 u
dx du
dy
∗du
 dy du
Hence = =2 u∗cos x=2 sin x cos x
dx dx

Sketching the graphs of y=2sin x cos x and y=sin2 x ,you will find that the two forms are
equivalent.
