find the derivative

Find the derivative of u = 3 sin(r) sqrt(sin(r) + sqrt(sin(r))).

Solution

To find the derivative of the given function:

u=3sin(r)sin(r)+sin(r)u = 3 \sin(r) \sqrt{\sin(r) + \sqrt{\sin(r)}}

we'll apply both the product rule and chain rule. Let's go through it step-by-step.

  1. Rewrite the expression for clarity. Note that we have: u=3sin(r)(sin(r)+sin(r))1/2u = 3 \sin(r) \left(\sin(r) + \sqrt{\sin(r)}\right)^{1/2}

  2. Differentiate using the product rule: Since uu is a product of two functions, f(r)=3sin(r)f(r) = 3 \sin(r) and g(r)=(sin(r)+sin(r))1/2g(r) = \left(\sin(r) + \sqrt{\sin(r)}\right)^{1/2}, we apply the product rule: u=f(r)g(r)+f(r)g(r)u' = f'(r)g(r) + f(r)g'(r)

  3. Find f(r)f'(r): The derivative of f(r)=3sin(r)f(r) = 3 \sin(r) is: f(r)=3cos(r)f'(r) = 3 \cos(r)

  4. Differentiate g(r)g(r): To find g(r)g'(r), apply the chain rule to g(r)=(sin(r)+sin(r))1/2g(r) = \left(\sin(r) + \sqrt{\sin(r)}\right)^{1/2}: g(r)=12(sin(r)+sin(r))1/2(cos(r)+cos(r)2sin(r))g'(r) = \frac{1}{2} \left(\sin(r) + \sqrt{\sin(r)}\right)^{-1/2} \cdot \left(\cos(r) + \frac{\cos(r)}{2 \sqrt{\sin(r)}}\right)

  5. Combine terms to write the final derivative expression.

This results in:

u=3cos(r)sin(r)+sin(r)+3sin(r)cos(r)+cos(r)2sin(r)2sin(r)+sin(r)u' = 3 \cos(r) \sqrt{\sin(r) + \sqrt{\sin(r)}} + 3 \sin(r) \cdot \frac{\cos(r) + \frac{\cos(r)}{2 \sqrt{\sin(r)}}}{2 \sqrt{\sin(r) + \sqrt{\sin(r)}}}
