OUTCOME 2 Further Calculus Differentiating sinx an cosx In orer to ifferentiate expressions involving trigonometric functions, we use the following rules: ( sin x ) = cos x, ( cos x ) = sin x. These rules only work when x is an angle measure in raians. A form of these rules is given in the exam.. Differentiate y = 3sin x with respect to x. 2. A function f is efine by f ( x ) = sin x 2cos x for x R. Fin f π 3. 3. Fin the equation of the tangent to the curve y = sin x when x = π. Page 49
2 Integrating sinx an cosx We know the erivatives of sin x an cos x, so it follows that the integrals are: cos x = sin x + c, sin x = cos x + c. Again, these results only hol if x is measure in raians.. Fin ( 5sin x + 2cos x ). x. 4 2. Fin ( 4cos x + 2sin ) 0 π 3. Fin the value of 0 4 2 sin x. Remember We must use raians when integrating or ifferentiating trig. functions. Page 50
3 The Chain Rule We will now look at how to ifferentiate composite functions, such as f g ( x ). If the functions f an g are efine on suitable omains, then f ( g ( x )) = f g ( x ) g x. State simply: ifferentiate the outer function, the bracket stays the same, then multiply by the erivative of the bracket. This is calle the chain rule. You will nee to remember it for the exam. EXAMPLE If y cos( 5x π ) = +, fin y. 4 Special Cases of the Chain Rule We will now look at how the chain rule can be applie to particular types of expression. Powers of a Function [ ] n For expressions of the form f ( x ), where n is a constant, we can use a simpler version of the chain rule: [ ] n n ( f ( x )) n f ( x ) f = x State simply: the power ( n ) multiplies to the front, the bracket stays the same, the power lowers by one (giving n ) an everything is multiplie by the erivative of the bracket ( f ( x ))..

Powers of a Linear Function The rule for ifferentiating an expression of the form ( ax + b, where a, b an n are constants, is as follows: n n ax b an ax b. ( + ) = ( + ) 3.

Trigonometric Functions The following rules can be use to ifferentiate trigonometric functions. sin( ax + b) = a cos( ax + b) cos( ax + b) = a sin( ax + b) These are given in the exam. EXAMPLE. Differentiate y = sin( 9x + π) with respect to x. Page 53
5 A Special Integral The metho for integrating an expression of the form ( ax + b is: ( + ) n+ n ax b ( ax + b) = + c where a 0 an n. a( n + ) State simply: raise the power ( n ) by one, ivie by the new power an also ivie by the erivative of the bracket ( a ( n + )), a c. x + 4..

Remember the following rules for ifferentiating an integrating expressions of the form ( ax + b) n : n n ax b an ax b, ( + ) = ( + ) ( + ) n+ n ax b ax + b = + c. a( n + ) These rules will not be given in the exam.

Using Differentiation to Integrate Recall that integration is just the process of unoing ifferentiation. So if we ifferentiate f ( x ) to get g ( x ) then we know that g ( x ) = f ( x ) + c. 5.
