Suppose that f(π/6)=−4 and f′(π/6)=5, and let g(x)=f(x)sinx and h(x)=cosx/f(x). Answer the following questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Callisto @Hero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find g'(pi/6) and h'(pi/6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ash2326

OpenStudy (loser66):

g'(x)=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the derivative of g(x)

OpenStudy (loser66):

and g(x) = f(x)* sin (x) . SO???? g'(x) = ?? product rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you just want an example for g(x) and try by yourself h(x) or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g'(x)=f(x)cos(x)+sinxf'(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesnt matter to me @pitamar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*ok, go on, you know f(pi/6) and f'(pi/6) don't you? and you can find cos(pi/6) and sin(pi/6) pretty easily

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah so its g'(pi/6)=((-4sqrt3)/2)+(5/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. ugly looking that way, but seems fine. so is it good enoug hof what? you could simplify it abit..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it simplifies up to (5/2)-2sqrt3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok if that's good enough you could go for h'(pi/6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i get stuck on h'(pi/6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont really know the quotient rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see. so you should have said so hehe Well, do you want a full explanation or just the the formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is a proof there too so that's good =]
