Derivative of \( \displaystyle \frac{3 \sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{2} \)

Problem 2.224 · medium

Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = \frac{3 \sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{2} \).
  1. \[ \frac{d}{d x} \frac{3 \sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{2} \]
    derivativeStart with the derivative of the function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \frac{3 \frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{2} \]
    constant-multiplePull out the constant factor 3/2.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \frac{3 \cos{\left(2 x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} 2 x}{2} \]
    chainApply the chain rule to sin(2*x).✓ Proved
  4. \[ = 3 \cos{\left(2 x \right)} \]
    derivative algebraDifferentiate the inner function 2*x. Multiply the constants 3/2 and 2.✓ Proved
Answer \( 3 \cos{\left(2 x \right)} \)

✓ Nihil obstat Every line of this solution was proved by the computer algebra system SymPy. The answer was also checked a second way, without looking at the solution. Reviewers found nothing wrong with the explanation.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-09-26 with SymPy 1.14.0.
