Find the derivative of the following functions : (i) sin x cos x (ii) sec x (iii) 5 sec x + 4 cos x (iv) cosec x (v) 3 cot x + 5 cosec x (vi) 5 sin x – 6 cos x + 7 (vii) 2 tan x – 7 sec x.
Solution:
(i) Let f(x) = sin x cos x ... (1) Differentiating (1) with respect to x, we get f ′(x) = (sin x)′ cos x + (cos x)′ sin x = cosx · cosx + (– sin x) · sin x = ∴ f ′(x) = cos 2x. (ii) Let f(x) = sec x ⇒ f (x) = ⇒ f (x) = ... (1) Differentiating (1) with respect to x, we get f ′(x) = – · (– sinx) ⇒ f' (x) = ⇒ f' (x) = ∴ f ′(x) = tanx · secx. (iii) Let f (x) = 5 secx + 4 cosx ⇒ f (x) = ... (1) Differentiating (1) with respect to x, we get f ′(x) = 5(–1) (– sin x) + 4 (– sin x) = - 4 sin x = - 4 sin x ∴ f' (x) = 5 tan x . sec x - 4 sin x. (iv) Let f(x) = cosec x ⇒ f (x) = ⇒ f (x) = ... (1) Differentiating (1) with respect to x, we get f ′(x) = (– 1) · cos x = = ∴ f ′(x) = – cot x cosec x (v) Let f(x) = 3 cot x + 5 cosec x ⇒ f (x) = ... (1) Differentiating (1) with respect to x, we get f' (x) = + = + = + = - = - 5 [cot x . cosec x] = – 3 x – 5 cot x · cosec x = – cosec x [3 cosec x + 5 cot x]. (vi) Let f(x) = 5 sin x – 6 cos x + 7 ... (1) Differentiating (1) with respect to x, we get f ′(x) = 5 cos x – 6 (– sin x) + 0 ∴ f ′(x) = 5 cos x + 6 sin x. (vii) Let f(x) = 2 tan x – 7 sec x ... (1) Differentiating (1) with respect to x, we get f ′(x) = 2 x – 7 sec x tan x
