Explanation:

Step1: Apply the product rule

The product rule states that if \(y = uv\), then \(y'=u'v + uv'\). Let \(u=-3x\) and \(v = \sin(x)+\cos(x)\). Then \(u'=-3\) and \(v'=\cos(x)-\sin(x)\).

Step2: Evaluate \(f'(\frac{\pi}{6})\)

Substitute \(x = \frac{\pi}{6}\) into \(f'(x)\). We know that \(\sin(\frac{\pi}{6})=\frac{1}{2}\), \(\cos(\frac{\pi}{6})=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\).

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Answer:

  1. \(f'(x)=-3\sin(x)-3\cos(x)-3x\cos(x)+3x\sin(x)\)
  2. \(f'(\frac{\pi}{6})=\frac{-6 - 6\sqrt{3}-\pi\sqrt{3}+\pi}{4}\)
