if ( f(x)=3 x(sin x+cos x) ), find ( f^{prime}(x)= ) ( f^{prime}(4)= )

Question

if ( f(x)=3 x(sin x+cos x) ), find
( f^{prime}(x)= )
( f^{prime}(4)= )

Explanation:

Step1: Apply the product rule

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

Step2: Substitute \(x = 4\) into \(f^\prime(x)\)

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Using a calculator (in radian mode), \(\sin(4)\approx - 0.7568\) and \(\cos(4)\approx - 0.6536\)

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Answer:

\(f^\prime(x)=3\sin x(1 - x)+3\cos x(1 + x)\)
\(f^\prime(4)\approx - 2.99\)
