Differentiate `(sinx)/(x)` with respect to x.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To differentiate the function \( y = \frac{\sin x}{x} \) with respect to \( x \), we will use the quotient rule. The quotient rule states that if you have a function in the form of \( \frac{u}{v} \), then the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) is given by: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2} \] where \( u = \sin x \) and \( v = x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify \( u \) and \( v \)**: - Let \( u = \sin x \) - Let \( v = x \) 2. **Differentiate \( u \) and \( v \)**: - \( \frac{du}{dx} = \cos x \) (the derivative of \( \sin x \)) - \( \frac{dv}{dx} = 1 \) (the derivative of \( x \)) 3. **Apply the Quotient Rule**: - Substitute \( u \), \( v \), \( \frac{du}{dx} \), and \( \frac{dv}{dx} \) into the quotient rule formula: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x \cdot \cos x - \sin x \cdot 1}{x^2} \] 4. **Simplify the expression**: - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x \cos x - \sin x}{x^2} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x \cos x - \sin x}{x^2} \]
