Differentiate in two ways, using product rule and otherwise, the function
(1 + 2tan x)(5 + 4 cos x). Verify that the answers are the same.
Let, y = (1 + 2 tan x)(5 + 4 cos x)
⇒ y = 5 + 4 cos x + 10 tan x + 8 tan x cos x
⇒ y = 5 + 4 cos x + 10 tan x + 8 sin x {∵ tan x cos x = sin x}
Differentiating y w.r.t x –
Using algebra of derivatives, we have –
Use formula of derivative of above function to get the result.
⇒
∴ …equation 1
Derivative using product rule –
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 + 4cos 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 2
As, u = (1 + 2tan x)
∴
⇒
⇒ …..equation 3 {∵
}
As, v = 5 + 4cos x
⇒
⇒ …equation 4 {∵
}
∴ from equation 2, we can find dy/dx
∴
using equation 3 & 4, we get –
⇒
⇒
∵ sin x = tan x cos x , so we get –
⇒
⇒
⇒ [∵ 1 – sin2 x = cos2 x ]
∴
Hence,
….equation 5
Clearly from equation 1 and 5 we observed that both equations gave identical results.
Hence, Results are verified
