Given that y=(4x+1)^3*sin(2x) , find dy/dx

y=(4x+1)^3sin(2x) - this is a product of two functions of x. It can be rewritten as y = u(x)v(x)  ; where u(x) = (4x+1)^3 and v(x) = sin(2x) Using the product rule: dy/dx = u'(x)v(x) + v'(x)u(x) where the ' (prime) notation denotes the differential with respect to x u'(x) = 34(4x+1)^2  and v'(x) = 2cos(2x)  using either substitution or simplification rules for both Therefore, using product rule, dy/dx=[ 34*(4x+1)^2 ] * [ sin(2x) ] + [ 2cos(2x) ] * [ (4x+1)^3 ] which simplifies to: dy/dx = 2(4x+1)^3cos(2x) + 12(4x+1)^2

Use the addition formulas: sin(x+y)=sin(x)*cos(y)+sin(y)*cos(x), cos(x+y)=cos(x)*cos(y)-sin(x)*sin(y) to derive sin(2x), cos(2x), sin(x)+sin(y).
