How do you differentiate # y = sin 5x - 1/3 sin^3 5x#? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating sin(x) from First Principles 1 Answer sankarankalyanam Mar 25, 2018 #color(brown)(y' = 5 cos (5x) (1 - sin^2 (5x))# Explanation: #y = sin 5x - (1/3) sin^3 (5x)# #y' = (dy)/(dx) = cos 5x * 5 - (1/cancel3) cancel3 sin^2 (5x) cos 5x * 5# #y' = 5 cos (5x) - 5 sin^2 (5x) * cos (5x)# #y' = 5 cos (5x) (1 - sin^2 (5x))# Answer link Related questions How do you differentiate #f(x)=sin(x)# from first principles?
