The question, in short

Differentiate 6e^(3x²) cos 2x with respect to x, using the product and chain rules.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Solution · 3 marks

  1. 1Product rule with u = 6e^(3x²), v = cos 2x
  2. 2du/dx = 36xe^(3x²), dv/dx = −2sin 2x
  3. 3d/dx = 36xe^(3x²) cos 2x + 6e^(3x²) × (−2sin 2x)
  4. 4= 36xe^(3x²) cos 2x − 12e^(3x²) sin 2x

Answer36xe^(3x²) cos 2x − 12e^(3x²) sin 2x
