Find the Derivative f(x)=sin(6x)

$f (x) = \sin (6 x)$

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (g (x))]$ is $f' (g (x)) g' (x)$ where $f (x) = \sin (x)$ and $g (x) = 6 x$ .

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u$ as $6 x$ .

$\frac{d}{d u} [\sin (u)] \frac{d}{d x} [6 x]$

The derivative of $\sin (u)$ with respect to $u$ is $\cos (u)$ .

$\cos (u) \frac{d}{d x} [6 x]$

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $6 x$ .

$\cos (6 x) \frac{d}{d x} [6 x]$

Differentiate.

Since $6$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $6 x$ with respect to $x$ is $6 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$\cos (6 x) (6 \frac{d}{d x} [x])$

Move $6$ to the left of $\cos (6 x)$ .

$6 \cdot \cos (6 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$6 \cos (6 x) \cdot 1$

Multiply $6$ by $1$ .

$6 \cos (6 x)$
