Problema 3.13

Capitolo 3, Problema 3.13

Find the derivatives of the functions in Exercises 1–42.

s = cos⁴ (1 - 2t)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the function: We have s = cos⁴(1 - 2t). This is a composite function where the outer function is u⁴ and the inner function is u = cos(1 - 2t).

Apply the chain rule: The chain rule states that the derivative of a composite function f(g(x)) is f'(g(x)) * g'(x). Here, we need to find the derivative of the outer function with respect to the inner function, and then multiply it by the derivative of the inner function with respect to t.

Differentiate the outer function: The outer function is u⁴. The derivative of u⁴ with respect to u is 4u³. So, we have 4(cos(1 - 2t))³.

Differentiate the inner function: The inner function is cos(1 - 2t). The derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x), and using the chain rule again, the derivative of (1 - 2t) with respect to t is -2. Therefore, the derivative of cos(1 - 2t) is -sin(1 - 2t) * (-2) = 2sin(1 - 2t).

Combine the derivatives: Multiply the derivative of the outer function by the derivative of the inner function to get the final derivative: 4(cos(1 - 2t))³ * 2sin(1 - 2t).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Chain Rule

The Chain Rule is a fundamental principle in calculus used to differentiate composite functions. It states that if a function y is composed of two functions u and v, such that y = f(g(x)), then the derivative of y with respect to x is the product of the derivative of f with respect to g and the derivative of g with respect to x. This rule is essential for finding derivatives of functions like s = cos⁴(1 - 2t), where multiple layers of functions are involved.

Intro to the Chain Rule

Power Rule

The Power Rule is a basic differentiation rule that states if f(x) = x^n, where n is a real number, then the derivative f'(x) = n*x^(n-1). This rule simplifies the process of finding derivatives of polynomial and power functions. In the context of the given function s = cos⁴(1 - 2t), applying the Power Rule will help differentiate the outer function raised to the fourth power.

Trigonometric Derivatives

Trigonometric derivatives refer to the derivatives of trigonometric functions, which are essential for solving problems involving angles and periodic functions. For example, the derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x). In the function s = cos⁴(1 - 2t), understanding the derivative of the cosine function is crucial for applying the Chain Rule and finding the overall derivative of the function.
