Find the Derivative - d/dx y=sin(9x)
y=sin(9x)
Step 1
Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that ddx[f(g(x))] is f(g(x))g(x) where f(x)=sin(x) and g(x)=9x.

Step 1.1
To apply the Chain Rule, set u as 9x.
ddu[sin(u)]ddx[9x]
Step 1.2
The derivative of sin(u) with respect to u is cos(u).
cos(u)ddx[9x]
Step 1.3
Replace all occurrences of u with 9x.
cos(9x)ddx[9x]
cos(9x)ddx[9x]
Step 2
Differentiate.

Step 2.1
Since 9 is constant with respect to x, the derivative of 9x with respect to x is 9ddx[x].
cos(9x)(9ddx[x])
Step 2.2
Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that ddx[xn] is nxn-1 where n=1.
cos(9x)(91)
Step 2.3
Simplify the expression.

Step 2.3.1
Multiply 9 by 1.
cos(9x)9
Step 2.3.2
Move 9 to the left of cos(9x).
9cos(9x)
9cos(9x)
9cos(9x)
y=sin(9x)
