Math Problem Statement

d/dx(y)=d/dx{sin ln(x^2)}^2

Solution

Let's solve the derivative step by step.

You are given the function:

ddx(y)=ddx[(sin(ln(x2)))2]\frac{d}{dx}(y) = \frac{d}{dx} \left[\left(\sin(\ln(x^2))\right)^2\right]

We'll use the chain rule to differentiate this expression.

Step 1: Apply the Chain Rule

Let u=sin(ln(x2))u = \sin(\ln(x^2)), so the expression becomes u2u^2.

Now, differentiate with respect to xx:

ddx(u2)=2ududx\frac{d}{dx} \left( u^2 \right) = 2u \cdot \frac{du}{dx}

Step 2: Differentiate uu with respect to xx

Now, differentiate u=sin(ln(x2))u = \sin(\ln(x^2)) with respect to xx:

dudx=cos(ln(x2))ddx(ln(x2))\frac{du}{dx} = \cos(\ln(x^2)) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\ln(x^2))

Step 3: Differentiate ln(x2)\ln(x^2) with respect to xx

The derivative of ln(x2)\ln(x^2) is:

ddx(ln(x2))=1x2ddx(x2)=1x22x=2x\frac{d}{dx}(\ln(x^2)) = \frac{1}{x^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = \frac{1}{x^2} \cdot 2x = \frac{2}{x}

So,

dudx=cos(ln(x2))2x\frac{du}{dx} = \cos(\ln(x^2)) \cdot \frac{2}{x}

Step 4: Substitute Back

Now substitute dudx\frac{du}{dx} back into the expression from Step 1:

ddx[(sin(ln(x2)))2]=2sin(ln(x2))cos(ln(x2))2x\frac{d}{dx} \left[\left(\sin(\ln(x^2))\right)^2\right] = 2\sin(\ln(x^2)) \cdot \cos(\ln(x^2)) \cdot \frac{2}{x}

Step 5: Simplify the Expression

We can use the trigonometric identity sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(θ)\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta) to simplify the expression:

ddx[(sin(ln(x2)))2]=22xsin(ln(x2))cos(ln(x2))=2sin(2ln(x2))x\frac{d}{dx} \left[\left(\sin(\ln(x^2))\right)^2\right] = \frac{2 \cdot 2}{x} \cdot \sin(\ln(x^2))\cos(\ln(x^2)) = \frac{2 \sin(2\ln(x^2))}{x}

Thus, the final derivative is:

ddx(y)=2sin(2ln(x2))x\frac{d}{dx}(y) = \frac{2 \sin(2\ln(x^2))}{x}

Summary:

The derivative of y=(sin(ln(x2)))2y = \left(\sin(\ln(x^2))\right)^2 with respect to xx is:

ddx(y)=2sin(2ln(x2))x\frac{d}{dx}(y) = \frac{2 \sin(2\ln(x^2))}{x}

Would you like to explore any part of this solution further, or have any specific questions?

Here are 5 related questions you might find interesting:

  1. How would the derivative change if the function inside the sine was ln(x)\ln(x) instead of ln(x2)\ln(x^2)?
  2. What is the second derivative of y=(sin(ln(x2)))2y = \left(\sin(\ln(x^2))\right)^2?
  3. How does the chain rule apply when there are three nested functions instead of two?
  4. Can you integrate the function y=(sin(ln(x2)))2y = \left(\sin(\ln(x^2))\right)^2?
  5. What happens if the argument inside the sine function is ln(xn)\ln(x^n) where nn is any constant?

Tip: Understanding the chain rule is crucial for differentiating composite functions. Breaking down the problem into smaller steps often makes complex derivatives more manageable.
