Determine an expression for dy/dx in each of the following cases and find the value of dy/dx at the stated value of x. y = sin(-sqrt 1 + x3). x = -2
Added by Nicole H.
Step 1
We have: y = \sin(-\sqrt{1 + x^3}) We will use the chain rule to find the derivative. The chain rule states that if we have a function y = f(g(x)), then the derivative of y with respect to x is: \frac{dy}{dx} = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x) In our case, we have f(u) = Show more…
