Calculus. Medal.
\[10 \cos x-4 \sin x\]
Exactly what should we do here?
I don't think we can simplify it more.
well I know it's \[10 d/dx[\cos x] - 4 d/dx[sinx]\right?\]
the latex has to be between delimiters ``` \[ ....code.... \] ```
\right is actually a command so its not good to right inside of it
``` \[10 \frac{d}{dx}[\cos x] - 4 \frac{d}{dx}[sinx] \] ``` \[10 \frac{d}{dx}[\cos x] - 4 \frac{d}{dx}[sinx] \]
@CimberJackson Well, you are right about\[\dfrac{\mathbb d}{\mathbb d x}(10\cos x-4\sin x) = 10\cdot\dfrac{\mathbb d}{\mathbb d x}(\cos x)-4\cdot\dfrac{\mathbb d}{\mathbb d x}(\sin x)\]
left and right are for brackets ``` \[\left( 10 \frac{d}{dx}[\cos x] - 4 \frac{d}{dx}[sinx] \right)\] ``` \[\left( 10 \frac{d}{dx}[\cos x] - 4 \frac{d}{dx}[sinx] \right)\]
so now what?
Well, just take derivative of sin x and cos x. Do you remember what these derivatives are?
umm cos is sinxcosx?
No. You are thinking of sec x.
Do you have note or table you can check?
f(x) cos x=-sin x f(x) sin x = cosx?
Yeah d/dx cos x = -sinx and d/dx sin x = cos x
Yess :D
so now we have -10 sinx - 4cosx.. now what
We should be done here.
\[\dfrac{\mathbb d}{\mathbb d x}(10\cos x-4\sin x) = \boxed{-10\sin x-4\cos x}\]
We cannot simplify it more, so yeah.
Yes it's right! :) thank you
