find the derivative of y=sinx(x+cscx)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Use the product rule here. \(f'\cdot g +g'\cdot f\)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Your functions: \[f=\sin(x)\]\[g=x+\csc(x)\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[y=\color{red}{\sin(x)}\color{blue}{(x+\csc(x))}\]

this is what i got cosx(x+cscx)+sinx(1-cscxcotx) is that right, how would you simplify that

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Let's check

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[f'=\cos(x)\]\[g'=1-\csc(x)\cot(x)\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Therefore with the product rule: \[y' = \color{red}{\cos(x)}(x+\csc(x)) +\color{blue}{(1-\csc(x)\cot(x))}(\sin(x))\]

sin(x + csc x) will be chain rule as (x + csc x) is considered as x here we have sin x(x + csc x) So all you need to do is use the UV rule that is.. is is u'v + uv' dy/dx = d/dx(sin x) x (x + csc x) + sinx x d/dx(x + csc x) = cos x(x + csc x) + sinx(1 + sec^2x) Can also write this as.. xcos x + cosxcosecx + sinx + sinxsec^2x hmm play around with it maybe.. cosec x can be written as 1/sin xcos x + cosx x 1/sin x + sinx + sinxsec^2x recall cos x/sin x = cot x xcos x + cotx + sinx + sinxsec^2x = dy/dx
