Chain Rule For A Composite Function

< Prev
Next >

Which of the following correctly describes the procedure for differentiating y=cos(ln(x))y=\cos(\ln(x)) using the chain rule?

A

Identify the outer function cos(u)\cos(u) and inner function ln(x)\ln(x), differentiate the outer function to get -sin(ln(x)), differentiate the inner function to get 1/x, then multiply these derivatives

B

Differentiate cos(ln(x))\cos(\ln(x)) by applying the product rule between cos\cos and ln(x)\ln(x), then multiply by 1

C

Identify the outer function as ln(x)\ln(x) and the inner function as cos(u)\cos(u), then differentiate in that order and multiply

D

Differentiate ln(x)\ln(x) first treating it as a constant, then differentiate cos(u)\cos(u) without applying the chain rule properly, and finally multiply
