If y = 3 cos 4x, dy/dx equals?

A.

6 sin 8x

B.

-24 sin 4x

C.

12 sin 4x

D.

-12 sin 4x

Correct Answer: -12 sin 4x

Explanation

y = 3 cos 4x Applying product rule: dy/dx = udv/dx + vdu/dx Where u = 3 and v = cos 4x du/dx of 3 = 0 and dv/dx of cos 4x = -4sin 4x dy/dx = 3 × -4 sin 4x + cos 4x × 0 dy/dx = -12 sin 4x

y = 3 cos 4x Applying product rule: dy/dx = udv/dx + vdu/dx Where u = 3 and v = cos 4x du/dx of 3 = 0 and dv/dx of cos 4x = -4sin 4x dy/dx = 3 × -4 sin 4x + cos 4x × 0 dy/dx = -12 sin 4x
