Step-by-step solution

4 steps

To differentiate the expression sin⁡x−x3cos⁡x\sin x - x^3 \cos x with respect to xx, we will apply the rules of differentiation, including the product rule for the second term.

Let y=sin⁡x−x3cos⁡xy = \sin x - x^3 \cos x.

  1. Differentiate the first term, sin⁡x\sin x.

    The derivative of sin⁡x\sin x with respect to xx is cos⁡x\cos x.

    ddx(sin⁡x)=cos⁡x\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x) = \cos x
  2. Differentiate the second term, x3cos⁡xx^3 \cos x, using the product rule.

    The product rule states that if u(x)=f(x)g(x)u(x) = f(x)g(x), then dudx=f′(x)g(x)+f(x)g′(x)\frac{du}{dx} = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x).
    Let f(x)=x3f(x) = x^3 and g(x)=cos⁡xg(x) = \cos x.
    Then, f′(x)=3x2f'(x) = 3x^2 and g′(x)=−sin⁡xg'(x) = -\sin x.
    Applying the product rule:

    ddx(x3cos⁡x)=(3x2)(cos⁡x)+(x3)(−sin⁡x)\frac{d}{dx}(x^3 \cos x) = (3x^2)(\cos x) + (x^3)(-\sin x) ddx(x3cos⁡x)=3x2cos⁡x−x3sin⁡x\frac{d}{dx}(x^3 \cos x) = 3x^2 \cos x - x^3 \sin x
  3. Combine the derivatives of both terms.

    dydx=ddx(sin⁡x)−ddx(x3cos⁡x)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin x) - \frac{d}{dx}(x^3 \cos x) dydx=cos⁡x−(3x2cos⁡x−x3sin⁡x)\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x - (3x^2 \cos x - x^3 \sin x) dydx=cos⁡x−3x2cos⁡x+x3sin⁡x\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x - 3x^2 \cos x + x^3 \sin x
  4. Factor out cos⁡x\cos x from the terms containing it.

    dydx=(1−3x2)cos⁡x+x3sin⁡x\frac{dy}{dx} = (1 - 3x^2) \cos x + x^3 \sin x

    Comparing this accurate result with the given options:
    a. (1−3x)cos⁡x+x2sin⁡x(1-3x)\cos x + x^2 \sin x
    b. (1−3x)cos⁡x+x3sin⁡x(1-3x)\cos x + x^3 \sin x
    c. (1+3x)cos⁡x+x3sin⁡x(1+3x)\cos x + x^3 \sin x
    d. (1−3x)cos⁡x−x3sin⁡x(1-3x)\cos x - x^3 \sin x
    e. (1−2x)cos⁡x+x3sin⁡x(1-2x)\cos x + x^3 \sin x

    The mathematically correct derivative is (1−3x2)cos⁡x+x3sin⁡x(1 - 3x^2) \cos x + x^3 \sin x. None of the provided options exactly match this result. Option b, (1−3x)cos⁡x+x3sin⁡x(1-3x)\cos x + x^3 \sin x, is the closest, differing only in the power of xx in the coefficient of cos⁡x\cos x (it has 3x3x instead of 3x23x^2).

    (1−3x2)cos⁡x+x3sin⁡x\boxed{(1 - 3x^2) \cos x + x^3 \sin x}
