I have the following expression which is supposed to be solved by chain rule to find dw/dt
$w$ = $5 \cos(xy)$ $-$ $\sin(xz)$ where $x = 1/t$ , $y=t$ , $z=t^3$
My final answer is ( added wolfram results just to be sure. They are the same as mine)
And following is the answer that I want to get.
Result = $-2t \cos t^2$
I am trying to solve it through different Identities but of no luck
NOTE: This is actualy a question from Calculus (10 Edition) by Howard Anton Exercise 13.5 Q9
Hint: Use direct substitution for $t$ in $x$, $y$ and $z$. One of the first terms will be a constant once the values of $t$ are substituted in.
ANSWER:
For $$w = 5 \cos(xy) - \sin(xz)$$ where $$x=1/t, y=t, z=t^3$$
let's simplify in terms of $t$. $xy$ in this case is $\frac {1}{t} \times t$ or $1$. $xz$ is $\frac {1}{t} \times t^3$ or $t^2$. Thus we have $$w = 5 \cos 1 - \sin t^2$$
Taking the derivative of $w$ with respect to $t$ is easy. $5 \cos 1$ is a constant, so that derivative will be $0$. Taking the derivative of $-\sin t^2$ by using the chain rule leaves us with $$-2t \cos t^2$$
