If you don't know how to differentiate trigonometric functions, please see 'Differentiation 4 - Trigonometric Functions'.

These questions use the chain rule.

\n

The earlier questions are easy to do by inspection, e.g using Part a:

\n

$y=sin(\\var{c[0]}x)$.

\n

We differentiate the term(s) inside the function, here the term is $\\var{c[0]}x$.

\n

Then we derive $sin$ of any function, giving us $cos$.

\n

Putting our results together, we get

\n

$\\var{c[0]}cos(\\var{c[0]}x)$.

\n

\n

We will now go through an entire worked example of the formal method of the chain rule using Part e.

\n

The expression we will be differentiating here is

\n

$y=tan^\\var{p[0]}(x)$.

\n

As a reminder, the chain rule is defined as

\n

$\\frac{dy}{dx}=\\frac{dy}{du}\\times\\frac{du}{dx}$.

\n

Now we let $u=tanx$, so then $y=u^\\var{p[0]}$

\n

This becomes an easy differentiation using $\\frac{dy}{du}\\times\\frac{du}{dx}$:

\n

Differentiate $y$ with respect to $u$, giving $\\simplify{{p[0]}u^{{p[0]}-1}}$.

\n

Then differentiate $u$ with respect to $x$, giving $sec^2x$.

\n

Multiply these results together, and substitue $tan$ back in for $u$.

\n

Your final result is therefore

\n

$\\simplify{{p[0]}(tan^{{p[0]}-1}(x))*sec^2(x)}$.
