Math 11 Worksheet 7 for Sections 3.6, 3.7, and 3.9 (Solutions) Spring 2023
1 Section 3.6
1. All I see are patterns: Take the derivative of each of the following functions. You might need the
Chain Rule at first, but try to find an underlying pattern.
y= sin θ, y = sin 2θ, y = sin 3θ, y = sin 4θ, y = sin πθ
We find that if y= sin(kθ), then y′=kcos(kθ).
2. All I see are patterns (again): Take the derivative of each of the following functions. You might
need the Chain Rule at first, but try to find an underlying pattern.
y=√x, y =√2 + sin x, y =√3 + cos x, y =√4 + tan x, y =p5 + 6x7
We find that if y=pf(x), then y′=1
2[f(x)]−1/2f′(x) or f′(x)
2pf(x).
3. Chain of fools: Take the derivative of the following functions. You may need to utilize the Chain
Rule. It might be helpful to first decompose each expression first.
(a) A(x) = (4x−x2)100
A′(x) = 100(4 −2x)(4x−x2)99
(b) B(x) = (1 + x4)2/3
B′(x) = 8
3x3(1 + x4)−1/3
(c) C(t) = 3
√1 + tan t
C′(t) = 1
3sec2t(1 + tan t)−2/3
(d) D(θ) = a3+ cos3θ
D′(θ) = −3 sin θcos2θ
(e) E(θ) = 4 cos nθ
E′(θ) = −4nsin(nθ)
(f) F(p) = (3p−1)4(2p+ 1)−3
F′(p) = 6(3p−1)3(p+ 3)
(2p+ 1)4
(g) G(s) = rs2+ 1
s2+ 4
G′(s) = 3s
(s2+ 1)1/2(s2+ 4)3/2
(h) H(x) = x
√7−3x
H′(x) = 7−3
2x
(7 −3x)3/2
(i) I(θ) = sin √1 + 10θ
I′(θ) = 5 cos(√1 + 10θ)
√1 + 10θ
(j) J(x) = cos2(sin x)
J′(x) = −2 cos(sin x) sin(sin x) cos x
4. Decomposition: (i) Find functions f,g, and hsuch that F=f◦g◦h=f(g(h(x))). Note: there
might be multiple answers (come up with at least one answer for each F). (ii) Find the derivative,
F′(x), of each.
(a) F(x) = p1−√x
f(x) = √x,g(x) = 1 −x,
h(x) = √x
(b) F(x) = sin3(2x+ 3)
f(x) = x3,g(x) = sin x,
h(x) = 2x+ 3
(c) F(x) = 1
(2x2+x+ 3)3
f(x) = 1/x,g(x) = x3,
h(x) = 2x2+x+ 3
(d) F(x) = √x+ 1 −1
√x+ 1 + 1
f(x) = x−1
x+ 1,g(x) = √x,
h(x) = x+ 1
