How to solve derivative of (sin3x)/x using first principle

Leona [35]

$\dfrac{d}{dx}(\dfrac{\sin(3x)}{x})$

First we must apply the Quotient rule that states,

$(\dfrac{f}{g})'=\dfrac{f'g-g'f}{g^2}$

This means that our derivative becomes,

$\dfrac{\dfrac{d}{dx}(\sin(3x))x-\dfrac{d}{dx}(x)\sin(3x)}{x^2}$

Now we need to calculate $\dfrac{d}{dx}(\sin(3x))$ and $\dfrac{d}{dx}(x)$

$\dfrac{d}{dx}(\sin(3x))=\cos(3x)\cdot3$

$\dfrac{d}{dx}(x)=1$

From here the new equation looks like,

$\dfrac{3x\cos(3x)-\sin(3x)}{x^2}$

And that is the final result.

Hope this helps.
