Find Derivative of f(x): We need to find the derivative of the function f(x)=sin(x)x3 with respect to x. This requires the use of the quotient rule for derivatives, which states that if you have a function that is the quotient of two functions, v(x)u(x), its derivative is given by (v(x))2u′(x)v(x)−u(x)v′(x). Here, u(x)=x3 and v(x)=sin(x).
Derivative of u(x): First, we find the derivative of u(x)=x3 with respect to x. The derivative of xn with respect to x is n⋅x(n−1), so the derivative of x3 is 3⋅x(3−1)=3x2.
Derivative of v(x): Next, we find the derivative of v(x)=sin(x) with respect to x. The derivative of sin(x) with respect to x is cos(x).
Apply Quotient Rule: Now we apply the quotient rule. The derivative of f(x)=sin(x)x3 with respect to x is given by (v(x))2u′(x)v(x)−u(x)v′(x). Substituting the derivatives we found, we get (sin(x))23x2sin(x)−x3cos(x).
Simplify Expression: We can simplify the expression by leaving it as it is, since there is no further simplification that combines terms or reduces the expression.
