Differentiate with respect to t. y = b cos t + t2 sin t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin t (2-b) + 2t cos t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

- sint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( cost)' ? (sint)' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-> b ( cos t ) ' = - bsint Okie, so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y' = -bsin+2tcos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=bcost+t2sint differentiating w.r.t t, dy/dt= -bsint+ d/dt(2tsint) now, we have to differentiate 2tsint using product rule for derivative. so, the derivative of 2tsint becomes (2tcost+2tsint) therefore, dy/dt= -bsint+2tsint+2tcost taking sint common, dy/dx=sint(2-b)+2tcost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i understand what you did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

datz ok! :) not a big deal. derivatives is realy easy as compared to the other sections of calculus. u jus need 2 know the ways to differentiate! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeaaa thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Apply product rule here ( t²* sin t ) ' with : u = t² --> u' = ... v = sint --> v' = ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@v.s Do you know product rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2t*sint + cost*t^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, now put the 2 results together :) y' = ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = b cos t + t² sin t ->y' = ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y"= -bcost+2t*sint+cost*t^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = b cos t + t² sin t -> b ( cos t ) ' = - bsint -> ( t² sin t )' = 2t sint+ t² cost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just put them together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

- bsint + 2t sint+ t² cost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's my instruction above?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

product rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The product rule applied to take derivative of the second term!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = b cos t + t² sin t -> b ( cos t ) ' = - bsint ( derivative of the first term) -> ( t² sin t )' = 2t sint+ t² cost ( derivative of the second term)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, now put the 2 results together :) y = b cos t + t² sin t y' = - bsint + 2t sint+ t² cost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you can make it neat by simplifying - bsint + 2t sint together.

okaay thnks you
