Differentiate the below equation :-

\[\huge \bf \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{2}{sinx})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You'll need to use the chain rule. Or the quotient rule if you feel more comfortable with that.

How to use chain rule in this equation ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ dy }{ dx }=\frac{ dy }{ du }\frac{ du }{ dx }\] You need to make a u-substitution which an appropriate choice for u.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With not which*

@hartnn @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using the chain rule we got: \[\frac{ d }{ dx }(\frac{ 2 }{ sinx })=2\frac{ d }{ dx }(\frac{ 1 }{ sinx })=2\frac{ (-\sin(x))' }{ \sin^{2}(x) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand @needforspeed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me how to use chain rule and where?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at what I've done: 1.First I've bringed the constant in front of the diferential "2"(You can do these all the time it's a property of differentials) 2.Then I've differentiate 1/sin(x) with the formula: \[\frac{ d }{ dx }(\frac{ 1 }{ u(x) })=-\frac{ u(x)' }{ u^{2}(x) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it's something unclear ask me please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we apply quotient rule,then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can apply qutient rule as well instead knowing the formula The result is the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see my way of solution and tell me whether i am wrong or right,ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large \bf \frac{d}{dx}\frac{2}{sinx}\] \[\large \bf \frac{sinx(0)-2(cosx)}{(sinx)^2}\] \[\large \bf \frac{-2cosx}{\sin^2x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perfect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the answer,right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ifrimpanainte can you please tell me how to do with chain rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't practise problems regarding with denominator as a trig.function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so can you please explain me???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG!!! g2g..come back soon.......... so can you write your solution with explanation applying chain rule and how to apply that rule...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope you write your solution very nicely..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ifrimpanainte

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've applied the chain rule in my first post here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The standard formula is: \[\frac{ d }{ dx }(\frac{ 1 }{ x })=-\frac{ 1 }{ x^2 }\] Now when you substitute the x with u(x) you are using the chain rule: You replace x with u(x) and multiply with (u(x))' \[\frac{ d }{ dx }(\frac{ 1 }{ u(x) })=-\frac{ u(x)' }{ u^{2}(x) }\]
