The question, in short

Differentiate y = (sin 2x)√(3 + 2x) and show it equals (sin 2x + (A + Bx)cos 2x)/√(3 + 2x), finding integers A and B.

Solution · 5 marks

  1. 1Product rule with u = sin 2x, v = (3 + 2x)^(1/2)
  2. 2dy/dx = sin 2x × (1/2) × 2(3 + 2x)^(−1/2) + (3 + 2x)^(1/2) × 2cos 2x
  3. 3= sin 2x/√(3 + 2x) + 2√(3 + 2x) cos 2x
  4. 4= (sin 2x + 2(3 + 2x)cos 2x)/√(3 + 2x)
  5. 5= (sin 2x + (6 + 4x)cos 2x)/√(3 + 2x), so A = 6, B = 4

Answerdy/dx = (sin 2x + (6 + 4x)cos 2x)/√(3 + 2x), so A = 6 and B = 4
