\[y=\frac{xsinx}{sinx+cosx}\]
Find dy/dx
I think you should try to differentiate it your self Remember, (U/V) formula.
\[\frac{(sinx+cosx)d(xsinx)-xsinxd(sinx+cosx)}{(sinx+cosx)^{2}}\]
that is /dx is that so?
is it -xsinx?
Yes, that's the one. one trick in answering these kinds of questions is using natural logs to simplify the thing before you proceed. \(\ln y= \ln x + \ln sinx - \ln(\sin x+\cos x)\) this is much easier on the eyes...lol
wait i guess ive done it wrong :X
and i dont really know logs
ah well, then just use the original formula then. Godspeed. though \( (\ln u)'=\frac{u'}{u}\), this is the one using log.
CAN U PLEASE TELL ME THE NEXT STEP OF WHAT I WROTE ABOVE :/
are you familiar with the chain rule? you'll need it for \(d(x sin x)\)
yes I am,just write the next step so i can confirm it!!
i solved d(xsinx) as (1+cosx)
by the product rule, d(xsinx) =x d(sinx) + sin x dx =x cos x+ sinx though
okay yeah!
so the whole complex thing becomes: \[\frac{(sin x + cos x)(x \cos x + sin x)-x \sin x(cos x - sin x)}{(sin x + cos x)^2}\]. note that some terms will cancel out beautifully...lol
\[\frac{(xcosx+sinx)-sinx(cosx-sinx)}{(sinx+cosx)} \] how far do i simplify after this?
@shadowys
how did you get that? no, you can't cancel one side only. Both of them on the denominator must have (sinx + cos x) to cancel out. Expand the original one.
IM GETTING TANX/2 O_O
oh my. lol can I see your steps? in a pic perhaps?
\[\frac{(xcosxsinx+\sin^{2]x+xcos^{2}x-xsinxcosx+xsin^{2}x}}{(sinx+cosx)^{2}} \]
what happned to the text lol
\[\frac{xcosxsinx+\sin^{2}x+xcos^{2}x-xsinxcosx+xsin^{2}x}{(sinx+cosx^{2})} \]
something like this?
so \[\frac{1+\sin^{2}x}{(1+2sinxcosx)}\]
i think you missed a sin x cos x up there, from (sinx+cosx)(xcosx+sinx)
ohyeah :p
numerator== 1+sinxcosx+sin^2x ?
yeah, but \(x cos^2 x +x sin^2 x\)= x, too,~
AH so x+sinxcosx+sin^2x/1+2sinxcosx?!
yh, can't be simplified further, i guess
:D!
