Find dy/dx !

OpenStudy (dls):

\[y=\cos(ax^{2}+bx+c)+\sin^{3}\sqrt{ax^{2}+bx+c} \]

OpenStudy (dls):

I want to build my logic and way of attacking problems !

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\large y= \cos(ax^{2}+bx+c)+\sin^{3}\sqrt{ax^{2}+bx+c}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

errr implicit derivative... only with variables? D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no actual points? xD its going to get messy

OpenStudy (dls):

haha,i know..and no sorry :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright i'll try it out, I'm taking cal 1, good review for my test. Hum first, the whole thing is an addition of 2 big terms, so find the derivative of bot terms. The first one is a chain rule : -sin s(ax ^2+bx+c) * (2ax + b)

OpenStudy (dls):

yes!! i did that

OpenStudy (dls):

what about the sin^3 part :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

secondly comes the other term. Because its a root we'll simplify it to: sin ^3 (ax ^2+bx+c)^(1/2) Again the chain rule So we get cos^3(ax ^2+bx+c)^(1/2) * (ax ^2+bx+c)^(1/2)' Therefore we have ANOTHER chain rule: 1/2 (ax ^2+bx+c)^-(1/2) * (2ax+b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have what I think of a chainception

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it look right to you? I don't know if I got it right :) but there is 2 chain rule involved here

OpenStudy (dls):

Isnt this what we have atm? \[\frac{dy}{dx}= -\sin(ax^{2}+bx+c) \times (2ax+b) + \cos^{3} \sqrt{ax^{2}+bx+c} \times \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{ax^{2}+bx+c}} \times 2ax+b\]

OpenStudy (dls):

in the end thats 2ax+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thats it. Thats what you should have in my opinion :)

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

the chain rule applied to the second term yields \[\large \color{blue} 3 \cos ^\color{red} 2 \sqrt{ax^2+bx+c}\frac{ 1 }{ 2\sqrt{ax^2+bx+c} }\left( 2ax+b\right)\]

OpenStudy (dls):

im doubtful about derivative of sin^3 as cos^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope I was right :D hehehe

OpenStudy (dls):

HA! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sirm3d. you take the derivative of the exponent of cos too?

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

its clearer when you write it as \[\large \left[ \sin (ax^2+bx+c)^{1/2} \right]^3\]

OpenStudy (dls):

sugoi!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah silly me I was thinking of sin(3x) or something

OpenStudy (dls):

so u failed in ur test :P

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

ugh. let me retype my answer.\[ 3\left[ \sin (ax^2+bx+c)^{1/2} \right]^2\space \cos (ax^2+bx+c)^{1/2}\space \frac{ 1 }{ 2(ax^2+bx+c)^{1/2} }\left(2ax+b\right)\]

OpenStudy (dls):

O___O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I was missing a whole term cause of it. Thanks sirm3d for correcting me!

OpenStudy (dls):

okay!

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

that is the derivative of the second term only. the derivative of the first term provided by @MarcLeclair is correct.

OpenStudy (dls):

why did we have a cos there?

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\large \sin^{3}x \] suppose we have this

OpenStudy (dls):

wont it be onlly 3cos^2x

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

3(sin x)^2 * cos x by chain rule

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

you should write it as (sin x)^3, then apply the chain rule

OpenStudy (dls):

okay..!

OpenStudy (dls):

thanks!

OpenStudy (dls):

i get to learn a lot from every ques! :D
