How do you differentiate y = 3x cos (x/3) - sin (x/3)y=3xcos(x3)−sin(x3)? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating sin(x) from First Principles 1 Answer James May 13, 2018 the answer y'=[8cos(x/3)]/3-xsin(x/3) Explanation: show below y = 3x cos (x/3) - sin (x/3) y'=3[x*-1/3sin(x/3)+cos(x/3)*1]-1/3*cos(x/3) y'=-x*sin(x/3)+3cos(x/3)-1/3*cos(x/3) y'=[8cos(x/3)]/3-xsin(x/3) Answer link Related questions How do you differentiate f(x)=sin(x) from first principles?
