how do i find the second derivative of xsinx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to find first derivative first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is a good first step, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the first derivative i got xcosx+sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is it. now you have to use the product rule again on the first part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so then i got x(-sinx)+cosx+sinx now what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a mistake here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got the derivative of the first part correct but you forgot to take the derivative of sin(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should get \[-x\sin(x)+\cos(x)+\cos(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so x(-sinx)+2cosx? since sinx cosx and u add them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you will probably see it written as \[2\cos(x)-x\sin(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so x(-sinx)+2cosx? since sinx cosx and u add them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh got it ,does it matter the order in which u put cos and sin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, one of those property whose name I can't recall

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thanks
