Need help finding dy/dx.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

oh

OpenStudy (dls):

\[ f(x)=(\cos x+i \sin x)(\cos 3 x+i \sin 3 x)...(\cos (2n-1)x+i \sin (2n-1)x)\]

OpenStudy (dls):

or let it be y

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Why is there "\(...\)" ??

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\Huge y= e^{i x n ^2}\] im stuck here

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Well, since you're finding the derivative: \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) everything else is a constant, correct?

OpenStudy (dls):

umm it continues like that..its a seqence (cosx+isinx)(cos3x+isin3x)(cos5x+isin5x..so on till 2n-1

OpenStudy (dls):

yes

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Wait, are you trying to find the complimentary solution for this? Is this single-variable Calculus or Ordinary Differential Equations?

OpenStudy (dls):

single variable calculus

OpenStudy (dls):

answer is -n^4 which I'm not getting somehow

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Can you show me what you did to get \(\large e^{inx^2}\)

OpenStudy (dls):

Sure. \[\large (\cos \theta+i \sin \theta)=e^{i \theta}\] \[\large e^{ix(1+3+5.....(2n-1))}\] This is an AP..whose sum say S=> \[\large S= \frac{n}{2}(2+(n-1)2)=\frac{n}{2}(2n)=n^2\] \[\Huge y=e^{ixn^2}\]

OpenStudy (dls):

i guess answer is smt like -n^2 . y which im not getting :(

OpenStudy (dls):

@Yahoo! @ganeshie8 @dan815

OpenStudy (abb0t):

is it \(2+(n-1)^2\) or \(2+(n-1)2\)

OpenStudy (dls):

latter

OpenStudy (abb0t):

What?

OpenStudy (dls):

what is the formula for sum of n terms of an AP?

OpenStudy (dls):

i know it ,asking you..you seem confused

OpenStudy (abb0t):

i am confused lol

OpenStudy (dls):

d=common difference b/w 2 terms

OpenStudy (dls):

oops sorry

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I didn't learn it that way. Nor have I seen it using the AP

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\[\LARGE Sum_{AP}=\frac{n}{2}(2(Term_1)+(n-1)d)\]\]

OpenStudy (abb0t):

This looks to me like ODE's, tbh. And i am not sure how to approach this using Calc I.

OpenStudy (dls):

tag sm1 else then :P

OpenStudy (dls):

oh sorry its done ! made a minor mistake.

OpenStudy (dls):

nevermind

OpenStudy (abb0t):

This looks like eulers relation, idk if you're familiar with, where \(e^{i\theta}=cos(\theta)+isin(\theta)\)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Sorry i wasn't much help. I wanted to help, but I couldn't think of exactly where I have seen this before. Lol

OpenStudy (dls):

its okay XD

OpenStudy (psymon):

Someday that will make sense to me, lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add \(n\) consecutive odd numbers, get \(n^2\)
