Find d/dx (sin y+y cos x) where y = g(x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okk d(siny)/dx+d(ycosx)/dx =cosy*dy/dx+y*(-sinx)+cosx*dy/dx as y=g(x)...so dy/dx=dg(x)/dx=g'(x) =cosy*g'(x)-sinx*y+cosx*g'(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so -sinx*y .... yhis has y so dont we change this to g'(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyone?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

why g'(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dy/dx is g'(x) y is g(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why didnt we change y to g(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it is troublesome to do it before you differentiate it. you will get the same result, but much harder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should substitute it after you differentiate it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the final answer ? one given by g17
