Differentiate y=x^2sinx/cos2x also tanh^-1(tanh1/2x)?
if y = ws^3/d^4..find the percentage increase in y when w increases by 2%, s decreases by 3 % anf d decreases by 1...pls show the steps to ur answers ...thanks

For the first problem, we have:
.....( x ^ 2 ) sin x
y = ____________
..... cos 2x
Use the quotient rule for derivatives:
To take the derivative of the numerator: use the product rule
d / dx [(x ^ 2)sin x] = 2x sin x + (x ^ 2) cos x
The derivative of the denominator is -2sin 2x
The derivative of the overall is:
(2x sin x + (x ^ 2) cos x)(cos 2x) + 4(x ^ 2)sin^2 (x)cos x
_______________________________________________
cos^2 (2x)

The next problem is equal to 1 / (2x), (because the tanh ^ -1 and tanh cancel...)
So, this derivative is the derivative of 0.5 * (x ^ -1), and we can use the power rule to get
0.5 * -1 * (x ^ -2) or
- 1 / (2 (x ^ 2))

Let's say the increase of w is represented by w1 = 1.02w,
The decrease of s is s1 = 0.97s
The decrease of d is d1 = 0.99d
To input into y1, we get
[1.02w * (0.97) ^ 3 * (s ^ 3)] / [0.99 ^ 4 * (d ^ 4)]
or, to simplify,
y1 = 1.02 * (0.97 ^ 3) / (0.99 ^ 4)
After simplifying, we get that the answer is approximately
y1 = 0.969y.
Therefore, y decreases by approximately 3.089%.
