RULE 7: Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions
a. Dx (sin u) = cos u ∙ du/dx
b. Dx (cos u) = -sin u ∙ du/dx
c. Dx (tan u) = sec2u ∙ du/dx
d. Dx (cot u) = -csc2u ∙ du/dx
e. Dx (sec u) = sec u tan u ∙ du/dx
f. Dx (csc u) = -csc u cot u ∙ du/dx
RULE 8: The Derivative of Exponential Function
If f(x) = eu then f '(x) = eu ∙ du/dx

Example 1. Differentiate y = sin 3x5
Sol. Dx (sin u) = cos u ∙ du/dx
let u = 3x5; du/dx = 15x4
y’ = cos (3x5) (15x4)
4
= 15x cos 3x 5
2. Differentiate y = sin (3x+1)
y’ = cos (3x+1) (3)
= 3cos (3x+1)

3. Differentiate y = cos 2x
Sol. Dx (cos u) = -sin u ∙ du/dx
y’ = -sin 2x (2)
= -2 sin 2x
4. Differentiate y = cos ( -4x+5)
y’ = -sin (-4x+5) (-4)
= 4 sin (-4x+5)

5. Differentiate y = sin x cos x
y’ = sin x( -sinx) + cosx(cosx)
= -sin2 x + cos2 x
6. Differentiate y = tan 5x
Dx (tan u) = sec2u ∙ du/dx
2
= sec (5x) (5)
= 5 sec2 5x

7. Differentiate y = tan x2
y’ = sec 2
(2x) x 2
= 2x sec2 x2
8. Differentiate y = sin x / tan x
sin 𝑥
y = sin 𝑥 = cos 𝑥
cos 𝑥
y’ = -sin x

9. Differentiate y = sec ( 3x2 + 5x)
Dx (sec u) = sec u tan u ∙ du/dx
= sec ( 3x2 + 5x) tan ( 3x2 + 5x) (6x + 5)
= (6x+5) sec ( 3x2 + 5x) tan ( 3x2 + 5x)

10. Differentiate y = sec
4𝑥+5
4𝑥+5 2 −(2𝑥+3)(4)
= (4𝑥+5)2
−2
=

thus, y’ =

11. Differentiate y = cot 4x
Dx (cot u) = -csc2u ∙ du/dx
y’ = -csc2 4x ( 4)
y’ = - 4 csc2 4x
BUREAU OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
12. Differentiate y = cot (2x2 + 4x -1)
y’ = - (4x+4) csc 2 (2x2 + 4x -1)
13. Differentiate y = csc 4x 2
Dx (csc u) = -csc u cot u ∙ du/dx
y’ = - 8x csc4x2 cot 4x2
