Examples on Derivative of sin 2x
Example 1 : If cos A = 3/5 where A is in quadrant I, then find the value of sin 2A?
Solution:
According to Pythagorean identity
sin2A + cos2A = 1
sin2A = 1 – cos2A
sin A = ±√(1 − cos2A)
sin A = ±√(1 − (3/5)2)
sin A = ±√(16/25)
sin A = ± 4/5
Since A is in quadrant I, sin A is positive. Thus,
sin A = 4/5
From sin 2x formula, sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x. From this,
sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A
= 2 (4/5) (3/5)
= 24/25
Example 2: Find the value of sin 90 Degrees using the Sin2x Formula.
Solution:
Sin2x Formula is given as Sin (2x) = 2Sin x Cos x. To find the value of sin 90 degrees, Sin2x Formula can to be used.
2x = 90o
x = 90°/2
x = 45°
Value of x is obtained. Substituting its value into the Sin2x Formula,
Sin (2 x 45°) = 2sin45° cos45°
We know that sin45° = 1/√2 and cos 45° = 1/√2. Using these values we get,
Sin 90°=2×1/√2 x 1/√2
Sin 90° = 1
Example 3: Determine the value of sin 2x if sin x = 4/5
Solution:
Given that, sin x = 4/5, Using the Pythagorean theorem we can obtain that, cos x = 3/5.
According to Sin2x formula we get,
sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x
Putting the given sin x value and cos x value, we get
sin 2x = 2 (4/5) (3/5)
sin 2x = 24/25
Example 4: Calculate the derivative of sin(2x+1)?
Solution:
Let f(x) = sin(2x+1)
Applying Chain rule,
⇒f'(x) = cos(2x+1) d/dx(2x+1)
⇒cos(2x+1)(2)
⇒2 cos(2x+1)
