Derivatives of trigonometric functions
1. f (x) = 1− 3 sin x
⇒ f0(x) = (1)0− 3(sin x)0 =−3 cos x
2. f (x) = x sin x
⇒ f0(x) = (x)0sin x + x(sin x)0 = sin x + x cos x
9. y = 2−tan xx
⇒ dydx = (2−tan x)(x)0−x(2−tan x)0
(2−tan x)2 = (2−tan x)(1)−x(− sec2x)
(2−tan x)2 = 2−tan x+x sec2x (2−tan x)2
22. y = excos x, (0, 1)
dy
dx = excos x + ex(− sin x) = excos x− exsin x
dy
dx|x=0 = e0cos 0− e0sin 0 = 1− 0 = 1
The slope of the tangent line at (0, 1) is 1. So, the equation of the tangent line at (0, 1) is y− 1 = 1(x − 0) or y = x + 1.
35. (a). x(t) = 8 sin t
The equation of velocity v(t) = x0(t) = 8 cos t.
The equation of acceleration a(t) = x00(t) =−8 sin t.
(b). The mass at time t = 2π3 has position x(2π3 ) = 8 sin(2π3 ) = 8(√23) = 4√ 3, ve- locity v(2π3 ) = 8 cos(2π3 ) = 8(−12 ) =−4, and acceleration a(2π3 ) =−8 sin(2π3 ) =
−8(√23) =−4√
3. Since v(2π3 ) < 0, the particle is moving to the left.
37. From the figure 1: 3-3-12, we can see that sin θ = x/6⇔ x = 6 sin θ. We want to find the rate of change of x with respect to θ, that is dxdθ. Taking the derivative of x = 6 sin θ, we get dxdθ = 6 cos θ. So, when θ = π3, dxdθ = 6 cos(π3) = 6(12) = 3 m/rd
