How do you find the derivative of h(θ)=cscθ+eθcotθ ?
Solution
Hint : Derivatives are defined as the varying rate of a function with respect to an independent variable. Here we have a function of θ . We need to differentiate the given equation with respect to θ . We use product rule to solve this that is dxdy=u×dxdv+v×dxdu .
Complete step by step solution:
We have,
h(θ)=cscθ+eθcotθ .
Now differentiate with respect to θ .
dθd(h(θ))=dxd(cscθ+eθcotθ)
⇒h′(θ)=dθd(cscθ)+dθd(eθcotθ) −−(1)
We know the dθd(cscθ)=−cscθcotθ −−−(2) .
To find the differentiation of dθd(eθcotθ) we apply product law.
dθd(eθcotθ)=eθdθd(cotθ)+cotθdθd(eθ)
We know dθd(cotθ)=−csc2θ and dθd(eθ)=eθ .
dθd(eθcotθ)=−eθ.csc2θ+cotθ.eθ −−−(3)
Substituting equation (2) and (3) in equation (1) we have,
⇒h′(θ)=−cscθcotθ−eθ.csc2θ+cotθ.eθ
⇒h′(θ)=−cscθcotθ−eθ(csc2θ−cotθ) , This is the required answer.
So, the correct answer is “ h′(θ)=−cscθcotθ−eθ(csc2θ−cotθ) ”.
Note : We know the differentiation of xn is dxd(xn)=n.xn−1 . The obtained result is the first derivative. If we differentiate again we get a second derivative. If we differentiate the second derivative again we get a third derivative and so on. Careful in applying the product rule. We also know that differentiation of constant terms is zero.
