Trigonometric differentiation

SOLUTION 2 : Differentiate   . Apply the product rule.

Then

 .

SOLUTION 3 : Differentiate   . Apply the quotient rule.

Then

(Recall the well-known trigonometry identity  .)

 .
SOLUTION 6 : Differentiate   . To avoid using the chain rule, recall
the trigonometry identity  , and first rewrite the problem as

 .

Now apply the product rule twice. Then

(This is an acceptable answer. However, an alternative answer can be gotten by using

the trigonometry identity  .)

 .

SOLUTION 7 : Differentiate   . Rewrite g as a triple product and apply the

triple product rule. Then

so that the derivative is

SOLUTION 14 : Differentiate   . Apply the quotient rule first. Then

(Apply the product rule in the first part of the numerator.)

 .

Logarithmic Differentiation

SOLUTION 1 : Because a variable is raised to a variable power in this function, the

ordinary rules of differentiation DO NOT APPLY ! The function must first be revised
before a derivative can be taken. Begin with

y = xx .

Apply the natural logarithm to both sides of this equation getting

 .
Differentiate both sides of this equation. The left-hand side requires the chain rule
since y represents a function of x . Use the product rule on the right-hand side. Thus,
beginning with

and differentiating, we get

 .

Multiply both sides of this equation by y, getting

 .

Differentiation of Inverse trigonometric functions

SOLUTION 1 : Differentiate  . Apply the product rule. Then

(Factor an x from each term.)

 .

SOLUTION 2 : Differentiate   . Apply the quotient rule. Then

  .

SOLUTION 3 : Differentiate  arc arc  . Apply the product rule. Then

arc arc arc arc

arc arc

= ( arc arc  .
