Trig Derivatives Practice

Find the derivative.

• x⁴ cosx - 4x³sinx
• x⁴ cosx + 4x³sinx
• 4x³cosx
• -4x³cosx

Find the derivative f(x) = tanxcosx

• f'(x) = sec²xcosx - tanxsinx
• f'(x) = sec²xcosx + tanxsinx
• f'(x) = sec²xsinx
• f'(x) = sec²xcosx - tanxcosx

Find the derivative of f(x) = x²sinx

• f'(x) = 2xsinx - x²cosx
• f'(x) = 2xsinx + x²sinx
• f'(x) = 2xsinx + x²cosx
• f'(x) = 2xcosx
