Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:
(1 – 2 tan x)(5 + 4 sin x)
Let, y = (1 – 2 tan x)(5 + 4 sin x)
We have to find dy/dx
As we can observe that y is a product of two functions say u and v where,
u = (1 – 2tan x) and v = (5 + 4sin x)
∴ y = uv
As we know that to find the derivative of product of two function we apply product rule of differentiation.
By product rule, we have –
…equation 1
As, u = (1 – 2tan x)
∴
⇒
⇒ …..equation 2 {∵
}
As, v = 5 + 4sin x
⇒
⇒ …equation 3 {∵
}
∴ from equation 1, we can find dy/dx
∴
using equation 2 & 3, we get –
⇒
⇒
∵ sin x = tan x cos x , so we get –
⇒
Hence,
