At time $t$, the particle is at the point $\big(x(t),y(t)\big)$, with $x(t)=\cos t$ and $y(t)=\sin t$. Over time, the particle traces out a curve; let's call that curve $y=f(x)$. Then $y(t) = f\big(x(t)\big)$, so the slope of the curve at the point $\big(x(t),y(t)\big)$ is $f'\big(x(t)\big)$. You are to determine the values of $t$ for which $f'\big(x(t)\big)=-1$.

By the chain rule

$$\begin{aligned} y'(t) = f'\big(x(t)\big) \cdot x'(t) \end{aligned}$$

Substituting in $x(t)=\cos t$ and $y(t)=\sin t$ gives

$$\begin{aligned} \cos t = f'\big(x(t)\big) \cdot \big(-\sin t\big) \end{aligned}$$

so that

$$\begin{aligned} f'\big(x(t)\big) = -\frac{\cos t}{\sin t} \end{aligned}$$

is $-1$ precisely when $\sin t = \cos t$. This happens whenever $t = \frac{\pi}{4}$.

Remark: the path traced by the particle is a semicircle. You can think about the point on the unit circle with angle t, or you can notice that $x^2 + y^2 = \sin^2t + \cos^2t = 1$.

Since $\sin 2x$ and $2\sin x \cos x$ are the same function, they have the same derivative.

$$\begin{aligned} \sin 2x &= 2\sin x \cos x\\ \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\{\sin 2x\}&=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\{2\sin x \cos x\}\\ 2\cos 2x &=2[\cos^2x-\sin^2x]\\ \cos 2x &=\cos^2x-\sin^2 x \end{aligned}$$

We conclude $\cos 2x =\cos^2x-\sin^2 x$, which is another common trig identity.

Remark: if we differentiate both sides of this equation, we get the original identity back.

$$\begin{aligned} f(x)&=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{e^{\csc x^2}}{ \sqrt{x^3-9} \tan x }}\\ &=\left({\dfrac{e^{\csc x^2}}{ \sqrt{x^3-9} \tan x }}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \\ \text{To begin the differentiation, we can choose our ``outside" function to be $g(x)=x^{\frac{1}{3}}$, and our ``inside" function to be $h(x)=\dfrac{e^{\csc x^2}}{ \sqrt{x^3-9} \tan x }$. Then $f(x)=g(h(x))$, so $f'(x)=g'(h(x))\cdot h'(x)=\frac{1}{3}(h(x))^{-\frac{2}{3}}h'(x)$:} \\ f'(x)&=\frac{1}{3}\left( \dfrac{e^{\csc x^2}}{ \sqrt{x^3-9} \tan x }\right)^{\frac{-2}{3}}\cdot\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{ \dfrac{e^{\csc x^2}}{ \sqrt{x^3-9} \tan x }\right\}\\ &=\frac{1}{3} \left( \dfrac{ \sqrt{x^3-9} \tan x }{e^{\csc x^2}} \right)^{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{ \dfrac{e^{\csc x^2}}{ \sqrt{x^3-9} \tan x }\right\} \\ \text{This leads us to use the quotient rule:} \\ &=\frac{1}{3}\left( \dfrac{ \sqrt{x^3-9} \tan x }{e^{\csc x^2}} \right)^{\frac{2}{3}} \left(\frac{ \sqrt{x^3-9}\tan x \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{e^{\csc x^2}\right\}-e^{\csc x^2}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\sqrt{x^3-9}\tan x \right\}}{(\tan^2 x)(x^3-9) }\right) \\ \text{Let's figure out those two derivatives on their own, then plug them in.

We are given that one speaker produces 3dB. So if $P$ is the power of one speaker,

$$\begin{aligned}3=V(P)&=10\log_{10}\left(\frac{P}{S}\right). \\ \text{So, for ten speakers:} \\ V(10P)&=10\log_{10}\left(\frac{10P}{S}\right)=10\log_{10}\left(\frac{P}{S}\right)+10\log_{10}\left(10\right)\\ &=3+10(1)=13 \mathrm{dB} \\ \text{and for one hundred speakers:} \\ V(100P)&=10\log_{10}\left(\frac{100P}{S}\right)=10\log_{10}\left(\frac{P}{S}\right)+10\log_{10}\left(100\right)\\ &=3+10(2)=23 \mathrm{dB} \end{aligned}$$

The investment doubles when it hits $2000. So, we find the value of $t$ that gives $A(t)=2000$:

$$\begin{aligned} 2000&=A(t)\\ 2000&=1000e^{t/20}\\ 2&=e^{t/20}\\ \log 2 &=\frac{t}{20}\\ 20\log2&=t \end{aligned}$$

From our logarithm rules, we know that when $y$ is positive, $\log (y^2)=2\log y$. However, the expression $\cos x$ does not always take on positive values, so (a) is not correct. (For instance, when $x=\pi$, $\log(\cos^2 x)=\log(\cos^2\pi)=\log\left((-1)^2\right) = \log(1)=0$, while $2\log (\cos \pi)=2\log(-1)$, which does not exist.)

Because $\cos^2 x$ is never negative, we notice that $\cos^2 x = |\cos x|^2$. When $\cos x$ is nonzero, $|\cos x|$ is positive, so our logarithm rules tell us $\log\left(|\cos x|^2\right) =2\log|\cos x |$. When $\cos x$ is exactly zero, then both $\log(\cos^2x)$ and $2\log|\cos x|$ do not exist. So, $\log(\cos^2x) = 2\log|\cos x|$.

• Solution 1: Using the chain rule, $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\log(10x)\right\}=\dfrac{1}{10x}\cdot 10=\frac{1}{x}$.
• Solution 2: Simplifying, $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\log(10x)\right\}=\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\log(10)+\log x\right\} = 0+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{x}$.

• Solution 1: Using the chain rule, $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\log(x^2)\right\}=\frac{1}{x^2}\cdot 2x = \frac{2}{x}$.
• Solution 2: Simplifying, $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\log(x^2)\right\}= \displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{2\log(x)\right\}= \frac{2}{x}$.

Don't be fooled by a common mistake: $\log(x^2+x)$ is not the same as $\log(x^2)+\log x$.

We differentiate using the chain rule: $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\log(x^2+x)\right\}=\dfrac{1}{x^2+x}\cdot(2x+1) = \dfrac{2x+1}{x^2+x}$.

We know the derivative of the natural logarithm (base $e$), so we use the base-change formula:

$$\begin{aligned} f(x)=\log_{10}x&=\frac{\log x}{\log 10} \\ \text{Since $\log 10$ is a constant:} \\ f'(x)&=\frac{1}{x\log 10}. \end{aligned}$$

• Solution 1: Using the quotient rule, $$y'=\frac{x^3\frac{1}{x}-(\log x)\cdot 3x^2}{x^6}= \frac{x^2-3x^2\log x}{x^6}=\frac{1-3\log x}{x^4}.$$
• Solution 2: Using the product rule with $y=\log x \cdot x^{-3}$, $$y'=\frac{1}{x}x^{-3}+\log x \cdot(-3)x^{-4}=x^{-4}(1-3\log x)$$

Using the chain rule,

$$\begin{aligned} \displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\theta} \log(\sec \theta)&=\frac{1}{\sec \theta}\cdot (\sec \theta \cdot \tan \theta)\\ &=\tan\theta \end{aligned}$$

Remark: the domain of the function $\log(\sec \theta)$ is those values of $\theta$ for which $\sec\theta$ is positive: so, the intervals $\left(\left(2n-\frac{1}{2}\right)\pi,\left(2n+\frac{1}{2}\right)\pi\right)$ where $n$ is any integer. Certainly the tangent function has a larger domain than this, but outside the domain of $\log(\sec \theta)$, $\tan \theta$ is not the derivative of $\log(\sec \theta)$.

Let's start in with the chain rule.

$$\begin{aligned} f'(x) &= e^{ \cos\left(\log x\right)} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \left\{ \cos\left( \log x \right)\right\} \\ \text{We'll need the chain rule again:} \\ &= e^{\cos\left(\log x\right)} (-\sin( \log x)) \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\{ \log x \}\\ &= e^{\cos\left(\log x\right)} (-\sin(\log x)) \cdot \frac{1}{x}\\ &=\frac{-e^{\cos(\log x)}\sin(\log x)}{x} \end{aligned}$$

Remark: Although we have a logarithm in the exponent, we can't cancel. The expression $e^{\cos (\log x)}$ is not the same as the expression $x^{\cos x}$, or $\cos x$.

$$\begin{aligned} y&=\log(x^2+\sqrt{x^4+1}) \\ \text{So, we'll need the chain rule:} \\ y'&=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{ x^2+\sqrt{x^4+1}\right\}}{ x^2+\sqrt{x^4+1}}\\ &=\frac{2x+\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{\sqrt{x^4+1}\right\}}{x^2+\sqrt{x^4+1}} \\ \text{We need the chain rule again:} \\ &=\frac{2x+\frac{\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left\{ x^4+1\right\}}{2\sqrt{ x^4+1}}}{x^2+\sqrt{x^4+1}}\\ &=\frac{2x+\frac{4x^3}{2\sqrt{x^4+1}}}{x^2+\sqrt{x^4+1}}. \end{aligned}$$
