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 \[2\cos(x)-x\sin(x)\]
