How do you differentiate #f(x)=sinxcosx# using the product rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Product Rule 1 Answer Roella W. Jan 8, 2016 #f'(x)=cos^2x - sin^2x# or # 1-2sin^2x# Explanation: The product rule states that if #f(x) = g(x)h(x)# then # f'(x) = g(x)h'(x) + g'(x)h(x)# #f(x) = sinxcosx# #:.f'(x) = sinx(-sinx) +cosxcosx# Answer link Related questions What is the Product Rule for derivatives?
