How do you find the derivative of #1/2sin2x#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Product Rule 1 Answer sjc Apr 5, 2018 #(dy)/(dx)=cos2x# Explanation: we will use the chain rule #(dy)/(dx)=color(red)((dy)/(du))(du)/(dx)# #y=1/2sin2x# #u=2x=>(du)/(dx)=2# #color(red)(y=1/2sinu=>(dy)/(du)=1/2cosu)# #(dy)/(dx)=color(red)(1/2cosu ) xxx2# #(dy)/(dx)=cosu=cos2x# Answer link Related questions What is the Product Rule for derivatives?
