Answer:


(dy)/(dx) = 2xcos(x^2+7)

Explanation:

Given:
y=sin(x^2+7)

Find:
(dy)/(dx)

For this problem, it looks like we are going to use the chain rule. We have to functions, let's label them:


f(x)=sin(x)\\g(x)=x^2+7

Let's remember that the chain rule is:
f'(g(x))*g'(x) or
((dy)/(du) )((du)/(dx) )

Since these functions are basic, I will be using the
f'(g(x))*g'(x) rule, but both rules always work. We need to find
f'(x) and
g'(x)


f'(x)=cos(x)\\g'(x)=2x

Remember that the derivative of
sin(x) is
cos(x). Make sure you know all your trig derivatives. Now that we know all our variables, we can plug them in. We will take
g(x) and plug it into
f'(x) and multiply it all by
g'(x).


[cos(x^2+7)][2x]=2xcos(x^2+7)

Since nothing else can be done to reduce this expression, your answer is:


(dy)/(dx) = 2xcos(x^2+7)
