Math Problem Statement
Find dy if y = sin(7x^2).
Solution
The problem asks to find when .
To differentiate , we apply the chain rule.
Steps:
- The outer function is , where .
- The derivative of with respect to is , so we have: [ \frac{d}{dx}[\sin(7x^2)] = \cos(7x^2) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[7x^2] ]
- Now, differentiate with respect to :
- Substitute this back into the chain rule:
