Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If y = sin(2x), find dy/dx at x = π/4.
Correct Answer: 0
  • Step 1: Identify the function given in the question. Here, y = sin(2x).
  • Step 2: To find dy/dx, we need to differentiate y with respect to x. The derivative of sin(u) is cos(u) * du/dx, where u = 2x.
  • Step 3: Differentiate y = sin(2x). The derivative dy/dx = cos(2x) * d(2x)/dx.
  • Step 4: Since d(2x)/dx = 2, we have dy/dx = 2 * cos(2x).
  • Step 5: Now, we need to find dy/dx at x = π/4. Substitute x = π/4 into the derivative: dy/dx = 2 * cos(2 * (π/4)).
  • Step 6: Calculate 2 * (π/4) = π/2. So, we need to find cos(π/2).
  • Step 7: The value of cos(π/2) is 0.
  • Step 8: Now substitute this value back into the derivative: dy/dx = 2 * 0 = 0.
