Q. Given that y=u5−2, find dud(2u3−3siny) in terms of only u.Answer:
Apply Chain Rule: We need to find the derivative of the expression 2u3−3sin(y) with respect to u. To do this, we will use the chain rule, which states that the derivative of a composite function is the derivative of the outer function times the derivative of the inner function. In this case, the outer function is 2u3−3sin(y) and the inner function is y=u5−2.
Differentiate 2u3: First, we differentiate 2u3 with respect to u, which is straightforward: dud(2u3)=3×2u3−1=6u2.
Differentiate −3sin(y): Next, we differentiate −3sin(y) with respect to y, and then multiply by the derivative of y with respect to u using the chain rule:dyd(−3sin(y))=−3cos(y),anddud(y)=dud(u5−2)=5u5−1=5u4.So, dud(−3sin(y))=−3cos(y)×5u4.
Combine Derivatives: Now, we combine the derivatives of both parts: dud(2u3−3sin(y))=6u2−3cos(y)⋅5u4.
Substitute y into Expression: Since y=u5−2, we can substitute y back into the expression to express everything in terms of u: dud(2u3−3sin(y))=6u2−3cos(u5−2)×5u4.
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression: dud(2u3−3sin(y))=6u2−15u4cos(u5−2).
