Example Questions

Example Question #1421 : Calculus Ii

Find the derivative of the function:

$f(x)=\sqrt{\cos(x^2)}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{{-x\sin(x^2)}{\sqrt{\cos(x^2)}}}{2}$

$\frac{-x\sin(x^2)}{\sqrt{\cos(x^2)}}$

$\frac{x\sin(x^2)}{\sqrt{\cos(x^2)}}$

$\frac{-x\sin(x^2)}{2\sqrt{\cos(x^2)}}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{-x\sin(x^2)}{\sqrt{\cos(x^2)}}$

Explanation:

The derivative of the function is equal to

$f'(x)=\frac{-x\sin(x^2)}{\sqrt{\cos(x^2)}}$

and was found using the following rules:

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} x} f(g(x))=f(g'(x))\cdot g'(x)$ , $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} x} x^n=nx^{n-1}$ , $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} x} \cos(x)=-\sin(x)$

Note that the square root itself is the "outer" function when using the first rule, the chain rule.
