 Derivative of
Trigonometric Functions
EXAMPLE : Determine the derivative of the following functions
1. y = sin 6x
u = 6x u' = 6
y ‘ = cos u u’
y ' = (cos 6x)(6)
y ' = 6 cos 6x Ans.
2. y = 2 cos 3x

3. y = - 4 cot 1/2 x
u = 1/2 x u' = 1/2
y ‘ = - csc 2 u u’
y ‘ = (- 4)( - csc2 1/2 x)(1/2)
y ' = 2 csc2 1/2 x Ans.
4. y = 10 sec 3x2
u = 3x2 u' = 6x
y ‘ = sec u tan u u’

6. y = 3/4 csc (4x - 7)
u = 4x - 7u' = 4
y ‘ = - csc u cot u u’
y ' = (3/4)[- csc (4x - 7) cot (4x - 7)](4)

7. y = x2 cos 5x
u = x2 v = cos 5x u = 5x u ' = 5
u ' = 2x v ' = (- sin 5x)(5) = - 5 sin 5x
y ' = - 5x2 sin 5x+ 2x cos 5x Ans.

8. y = 5x3 tan 4x
u = 5x3 v = tan 4xu = 4x u ' = 4

9. y = 5x2 u = 5x2 v = sin 2x
sin 2x u ' = 10x v' = 2 cos 2x
y = 10x sin 2x - 10x2 cos 2x
sin2 2x

10. y = csc 7x u = csc 7x v = 2x + 1

2x + 1 u ' = - 7 csc 7x cot 7x v ' = 2

(2x + 1)2
11. y = 8 sin6 7x
y = 8 (sin 7x)6
u = sin 7x u ' = 7 cos 7x
y ' = (6)(8) (sin 7x)5 (7 cos 7x)
y ' = 336 sin5 7xcos 7x Ans.
12. y = 25 cot4 x
