Problems from Derivative of trigonometric functions

Find the derivative of the following functions:

a) f(x)=x+sin(x)

b) f(x)=5cos(x)+16x2

c) f(x)=arctan(x)+cos(x)x6

d) f(x)=cot(x)csc(x)

See development and solution

Development:

a) Using the rule of the sum, we recognize g(x)=x and h(x)=sin(x), and therefore, f(x)=1+cos(x)

b) In this case, g(x)=5cos(x) and h(x)=16. Therefore, f(x)=5(sin(x))+16(2x)=32x5sin(x)

c) We recognize now three different functions; we apply the rule of the sum and obtain: f(x)=11+x2sin(x)6x5

d) By applying the rule of the sum: f(x)=csc2(x)(csc(x)cot(x))=csc(x)(cot(x)csc(x))

Solution:

a) f(x)=1+cos(x)

b) f(x)=32x5sin(x)

c) f(x)=11+x2sin(x)6x5

d) f(x)=csc(x)(cot(x)csc(x))
