Calculus 1 Differentiation of Sine and Cosine Functions

PRACTICE EXERCISES

1. Differentiate with respect to x: 𝑦 = 4 sin 3𝑥

2. Differentiate with respect to x: 𝑦 = 2 𝑐𝑜𝑠6𝑥
3. Given 𝑓(𝜃 ) = 2 𝑠𝑖𝑛 3𝜃 − 5 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2𝜃, find 𝑓’(𝜃)
4. An alternating current is given by 𝑖 = 5 𝑠𝑖𝑛 100𝑡 amperes, where t is the time in
seconds. Determine the rate of change of current when t = 0.01 seconds.
5. 𝑣 = 50 𝑠𝑖𝑛 40𝑡 volts represents an alternating voltage where t is the time in seconds. At
a time of 20 × 10−3 seconds, find the rate of change of voltage.
