Question #b3476 Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Derivative Rules for y=cos(x) and y=tan(x) 1 Answer Monzur R. Jun 12, 2017 g'(x)=-tanxcosx["lin"(cosx)] Explanation: g(x)=sin["lin"(cosx)] Let u="lin"(cosx) And v=cosx Then g(x)=sinu And u="lin"v And g'(x)=d/dx(sinu)xx(du)/dx xx (dv)/dx d/dx(sinu)=cosu=cos("lin"v)=cos["lin"(cosx)] (du)/dx=1/v=1/cosx (d v)/dx=-sinx g'(x)=cos["lin"(cosx)]xx1/cosx xx -sinx =-tanxcosx["lin"(cosx)] Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of y=cos(x) ?
