    Can someone help me find the derivatives of these questions? For these can you only need to tell me the answer so i can see if i have the same thing. y=cos(-4x) y = sinx^2 y = xcosx I need help with these 6 please. y = xcos(1/x) y = (1+sinx)/(1-sin^(2)x) y

    How do I solve this? tan^2x= 2tanxsinx My work so far: tan^2x - 2tanxsinx=0 tanx(tanx - 2sinx)=0 Then the solutions are: TanX=0 and sinX/cosX = 2 sin X Divide through by sinX: we have to check this later to see if allowed (ie sinX is not zero) cosX=1/2
