Let  `f(x)=sin(2x)`.

Find the value of `x`, for  `0 < x < pi`, for which  `f^(′)(x)=-sqrt3`  AND  `f^(″)(x)=2`.  (3 marks)

--- 6 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

`(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`  

 
`:.x=(7pi)/12\ \ text{(satisfies both equations)}`

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

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

`3`

Show Worked Solution

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

`f^{′}(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)`

 
`:. \ n = 3`

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`

 `=>  D`

Differentiate with respect to `x`:

`(1 + tan x)^10`.  (2 marks)

Show Answers Only

`10 sec^2 x \ (1 + tan x)^9`

Show Worked Solution

`y = (1 + tan x)^10`

`(dy)/(dx)` `= 10 (1 + tan x)^9 xx d/(dx) (tan x)`
  `= 10 sec^2 x \ (1 + tan x)^9`

Differentiate  `(sinx -1)^8`.   (2 marks)

Show Answers Only

 `8cosx (sinx -1)^7`

Show Worked Solution

`y= (sinx – 1)^8`

`dy/dx` `=8 (sinx -1)^7 xx d/dx (sinx -1)`
  `=8 (sinx – 1)^7 xx cosx`
  `=8cosx (sinx – 1)^7`
