How do you differentiate y=sin x^2? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating sin(x) from First Principles 1 Answer Alan N. Mar 7, 2017 dy/dx=2xcos(x^2) Explanation: y = sin(x^2) Applying the chain rule: dy/dx= cos(x^2) * d/dx(x^2) = cos(x^2) * 2x [Power rule] = 2xcos(x^2) Answer link Related questions How do you differentiate f(x)=sin(x) from first principles?
