RULE 7: Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions

a. Dx (sin u) = cos u ∙ du/dx
b. Dx (cos u) = -sin u ∙ du/dx
c. Dx (tan u) = sec2u ∙ du/dx
d. Dx (cot u) = -csc2u ∙ du/dx
e. Dx (sec u) = sec u tan u ∙ du/dx
f. Dx (csc u) = -csc u cot u ∙ du/dx

RULE 8: The Derivative of Exponential Function

If f(x) = eu then f '(x) = eu ∙ du/dx

Example 1. Differentiate y = sin 3x5
Sol. Dx (sin u) = cos u ∙ du/dx
let u = 3x5; du/dx = 15x4
y’ = cos (3x5) (15x4)
4
= 15x cos 3x 5

2. Differentiate y = sin (3x+1)

y’ = cos (3x+1) (3)
= 3cos (3x+1)

3. Differentiate y = cos 2x
Sol. Dx (cos u) = -sin u ∙ du/dx
y’ = -sin 2x (2)
= -2 sin 2x
4. Differentiate y = cos ( -4x+5)
y’ = -sin (-4x+5) (-4)
= 4 sin (-4x+5)

5. Differentiate y = sin x cos x

y’ = sin x( -sinx) + cosx(cosx)
= -sin2 x + cos2 x

6. Differentiate y = tan 5x
Dx (tan u) = sec2u ∙ du/dx
2
= sec (5x) (5)
= 5 sec2 5x

7. Differentiate y = tan x2
y’ = sec 2
(2x) x 2

= 2x sec2 x2

8. Differentiate y = sin x / tan x

sin 𝑥
y = sin 𝑥 = cos 𝑥
cos 𝑥
y’ = -sin x

9. Differentiate y = sec ( 3x2 + 5x)

Dx (sec u) = sec u tan u ∙ du/dx

= sec ( 3x2 + 5x) tan ( 3x2 + 5x) (6x + 5)
= (6x+5) sec ( 3x2 + 5x) tan ( 3x2 + 5x)

10. Differentiate y = sec
4𝑥+5

4𝑥+5 2 −(2𝑥+3)(4)
= (4𝑥+5)2
−2
=
(4𝑥+5)2

thus, y’ =
−2 sec (2𝑥+3) tan (2𝑥+3)
(4𝑥+5)2 4𝑥+5 4𝑥+5

11. Differentiate y = cot 4x

Dx (cot u) = -csc2u ∙ du/dx

y’ = -csc2 4x ( 4)
y’ = - 4 csc2 4x

12. Differentiate y = cot (2x2 + 4x -1)

y’ = - (4x+4) csc 2 (2x2 + 4x -1)

13. Differentiate y = csc 4x 2

Dx (csc u) = -csc u cot u ∙ du/dx

y’ = - 8x csc4x2 cot 4x2
