Find the Derivative - d/dx 3sin(2x)

Problem

(d(3)*sin(2*x))/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the constant multiple rule, which allows the constant 3 to be moved outside the derivative.

(d(3)*sin(2*x))/d(x)=3d(sin(2*x))/d(x)

2. Apply the chain rule, which states that the derivative of sin(u) is cos(u)⋅d(u)/d(x) where u=2*x

d(sin(2*x))/d(x)=cos(2*x)⋅(d(2)*x)/d(x)

3. Differentiate the inner function 2*x with respect to x

(d(2)*x)/d(x)=2

4. Substitute the derivative of the inner function back into the expression.

3⋅cos(2*x)⋅2

5. Simplify the expression by multiplying the constants 3 and 2

6*cos(2*x)

Final Answer

(d(3)*sin(2*x))/d(x)=6*cos(2*x)
