derive the equation.

OpenStudy (rogue):

Senx? What kind of math is this? :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that supposed to be sin x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, it's in portugese :) and yes it is.

OpenStudy (rogue):

Probably. But what is the question asking for? Derive it from...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so \(g(x)=(\sin x+\sqrt{x})^3\cdot\sqrt{x^4+2}\) and you're looking for \(g'(x)\)?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no wonder i have seen these sen x for a lot of times i thought they taught secret trigonometry to people -___-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, use the product rule and the chain rule, yeah? Which part are you getting stuck at?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm sorry for taking long. I was tryig to do it by myself. I just can't do it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Show us your work so we can see where you're getting lost.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First step, product rule, right? So \(f(x)=(\sin x+\sqrt{x})^3, g(x)=\sqrt{x^4+2}\), and we're finding \(f'(x)g(x)+g'(x)f(x)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeeah

OpenStudy (rogue):

\[g(x) = (\sin x + \sqrt x)^3 *\sqrt {x^4 +2}\]This gets messy...\[\frac {dg}{dx} = (\sin x + \sqrt x)^3 \frac {d}{dx} \left[ \sqrt {x^4 +2} \right] + \sqrt {x^4 +2} \frac {d}{dx} \left[ (\sin x + \sqrt x)^3 \right]\]

OpenStudy (rogue):

As nbouscal said, where do you get stuck?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, i get lost in all the algebra.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just erased it all, let me try again lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take it one step at a time. First step is to find f'(x), so derive \((\sin x + \sqrt x)^3\) using the chain rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you for the help :))
