help :) with derivatives

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

u can use direct approach like \[\frac{ d }{ dx }\cot (ax)=-a*cosec^2(ax)\] and \[\frac{ d }{ dx }cosec(ax)=-a*cosec(ax).\cot(ax)\]

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

or u can break them in sin and cos then use product or division rule

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

ok?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

so consider the first term cot(2x) so \[\frac{ d }{ dx }\cot(2x)=-2cosec^2(2x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

and for the second term\[\frac{ d }{ dx }cosec(2x)=-2cosec(2x).\cot(2x)\] now add them up-\[so \\K'(x)=-2cosec^2(2x)-2cosec(2x).\cot(2x)\\=-2cosec(2x)[cosec(2x)+\cot(2x)]\] yup u're correct :)

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

got it then ?
