\(\text{See Worked Solutions}\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\cot\,x=\dfrac{\cos\,x}{\sin\,x}\)

\(\text{Using the quotient rule:}\)

\(\dfrac{d}{d x}\left(\dfrac{\cos x}{\sin x}\right)\) \(=\dfrac{-\sin\, x\,\sin\, x-\cos\, x\, \cos \,x}{\sin ^2 x}\)  
  \(=\dfrac{-\sin ^2 x-\cos ^2 x}{\sin ^2 x}\)  
  \(=-\left(\dfrac{1}{\sin ^2 x}\right)\)  
  \(=-\operatorname{cosec}^2 x\)

`(7pi)/12`

Show Worked Solution

`f^(′)(x)=2cos(2x)`

`2cos(2x)` `=-sqrt3`
`cos(2x)` `=-sqrt3/2`
`2x` `=pi-pi/6,\ \ pi+pi/6`
  `=(5pi)/6,\ \ (7pi)/6`
`x` `=(5pi)/12,\ \ (7pi)/12`

 
`f^(″)(x)=-4sin(2x)`

`-4sin(2x)` `=2`
`sin(2x)` `=-1/2`
`2x` `=pi+pi/6,\ \ 2pi-pi/6`
  `=(7pi)/6,\ \ (11pi)/6`
`x` `=(7pi)/12,\ \ (22pi)/12`

The function  `f(theta) = sin^3(2 theta)`.

If  `f^{prime}(theta) = 6 cos(2 theta)-6 cos^n (2 theta)`, find the value of `n`.   (2 marks)

Show Answers Only

`3`

Show Worked Solution

`f(theta)= sin^3(2 theta)= (sin(2theta))^3`

`f^{prime}(theta)` `= 3 xx 2cos(2 theta) xx sin^2(2 theta)`
  `= 6 cos(2 theta)(1-cos^2(2 theta))`
  `= 6 cos (2 theta)-6 cos^3(2 theta)`

What is the derivative of  `sin(ln x),` where  `x > 0`?

  1. `cos (1/x)`
  2. `cos (ln x)`
  3. `cos ((ln x)/x)`
  4. `(cos (ln x))/x`
Show Answers Only

`D`

Show Worked Solution
`y` `= sin (ln x)`
`(dy)/(dx)` `= cos (ln x) xx d/(dx) (ln x)`
  `= cos (ln x) xx 1/x`
  `= (cos (ln x))/x`

 `(sin x-x cos x)/(sin^2x)`

Show Worked Solution

`y = x/sinx`

`u = x` `\ \ \ \ \ u^{prime}= 1`
