Q. Let f(x)=sin(x)x.Find f′(x).Choose 1 answer:(A) 2xcos(x)1(B) 2xcos(x)(C) 2xsin2(x)sin(x)−2xcos(x)(D) 2xsin2(x)sin(x)+2xcos(x)
Identify Function: Identify the function to differentiate. f(x)=sin(x)x is a quotient of two functions, where the numerator is x and the denominator is sin(x).
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for differentiation.The quotient rule states that (vu)′=v2u′v−uv′, where u is the numerator and v is the denominator.Let u=x and v=sin(x). We need to find u′ and v′.
Differentiate u and v: Differentiate u and v. u=x=x1/2, so u′=(1/2)x−1/2=1/(2x). v=sin(x), so v′=cos(x).
Apply Derivatives: Apply the derivatives to the quotient rule.f′(x)=v2u′v−uv′ = sin2(x)2x1⋅sin(x)−x⋅cos(x) = sin2(x)2xsin(x)−xx⋅cos(x) = 2x⋅sin2(x)sin(x)−2x⋅cos(x)
Choose Correct Answer: Choose the correct answer.The correct answer is (C) (sin(x)−2x⋅cos(x))/(2x⋅sin2(x)).
