Worked solution
Practise products, exponentials and a logarithmic square root
Differentiate (a) , (b) , and (c) with respect to .
CJC · Lecture · Self-Practice 3
(a) Differentiate both product factors
The product rule gives , matching the printed answer . All real are allowed, with angles in radians.
(b) Differentiate the inner exponent
The chain rule gives , matching the printed answer, for all real .
(c) Keep the square root and logarithm domain
Write . The logarithm requires , excluding odd multiples of . Differentiating gives , exactly the printed answer. A zero radicand is not allowed inside this logarithm.
Common mistakes
The square root introduces a factor of one half; a logarithm needs a strictly positive argument.
