Chapter 3, Problem 3.R.48
9–61. Evaluate and simplify y'.
y = 10^sin x+sin¹⁰x
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Identify the function y = 10^{\(\sin\) x} + (\(\sin\) x)^{10}. This function is a sum of two terms: 10^{\(\sin\) x} and (\(\sin\) x)^{10}.
Step 2: Differentiate the first term 10^{\(\sin\) x} using the chain rule. The derivative of a^u, where a is a constant and u is a function of x, is a^u \(\ln\)(a) \(\cdot\) u'. Here, a = 10 and u = \(\sin\) x.
Step 3: Differentiate \(\sin\) x with respect to x to find u'. The derivative of \(\sin\) x is \(\cos\) x.
Step 4: Differentiate the second term (\(\sin\) x)^{10} using the chain rule. The derivative of u^n, where u is a function of x and n is a constant, is n \(\cdot\) u^{n-1} \(\cdot\) u'. Here, u = \(\sin\) x and n = 10.
Step 5: Combine the derivatives from Steps 2 and 4 to find y'. The derivative of y is the sum of the derivatives of its terms.

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Differentiation
Differentiation is the process of finding the derivative of a function, which represents the rate of change of the function with respect to its variable. In this context, we need to apply differentiation rules to the given function y = 10^sin x + sin¹⁰x to find y'.

Finding Differentials
Chain Rule
The Chain Rule is a fundamental technique in calculus used to differentiate composite functions. It states that if a function y is composed of another function u, then the derivative of y with respect to x can be found by multiplying the derivative of y with respect to u by the derivative of u with respect to x. This is particularly relevant for terms like 10^sin x.

Power Rule
The Power Rule is a basic rule for differentiation that states if y = x^n, then the derivative y' = n*x^(n-1). This rule will be applied to the term sin¹⁰x, where we treat sin x as a function raised to a power, allowing us to find its derivative effectively.
