If y x sinx find frac dy dx - JAMB Mathematics 2010 Question

If y = x sinx, find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)
A
sin x - x cosx
B
sinx + x cosx
C
sinx - cosx
D
sinx + cosx
correct option: b

If y = x sinx, then

Let u = x and v = sinx

(\frac{du}{dx}) = 1 and (\frac{dv}{dx}) = cosx

Hence by the product rule,

(\frac{dy}{dx}) = v (\frac{du}{dx}) + u(\frac{dv}{dx})

= (sin x) x 1 + x cosx

= sinx + x cosx
