Derivatives of Trigonometric Function: Example 1

This document provides examples of how to take derivatives of trigonometric functions. It shows that the derivative of sin^3(u) is 3sin^2(u)cos(u) * du/dx and the derivative of cos^3(v) is -3cos^2(v)sin(v) * dv/dx. It also demonstrates using the quotient rule to differentiate a fraction involving trigonometric functions and applying the chain rule multiple times to differentiate cos^3(tan(3x)).

Derivatives of Trigonometric Function

Example 1:

Example 2: Find the derivative of y = 3 sin3 (2x4 + 1).


Put u = 2x4 + 1 and v = sin u
So y = 3v3

Example 3: Differentiate

Apply the quotient rule first, then we have

Now apply the product rule in the first part of the numerator, the result of g'(x) will be:
Example 4: Differentiate y = cos3(tan(3x)).

Apply the chain rule four times:
