Differentite both sides. Both sides are product so you will need to use the product rule ddx(uv)=uv+uv. For the ledt side, u=y so v=sin12x so v=cos12x12=12cos12x. For the right side, u=x so u=1 and v=cos(2y) so v=sin(2y)2y=2ysin(2y)
ysin12x=xcos(2y)
ddx(ysin12x)=ddx(xcos(2y))
ysin12x+y(12cos12x)=1cos(2y)+x(2sin(2y)y)
ysin12x+12ycos12x=cos(2y)2xysin(2y)
Substitute x=π2 and y=π4. Simplify and solve for y'.
ysin(12π2)+12(π4)cos(12π2)=cos(2π4)2(π2)ysin(2π4)
ysin(6π)+3πcos6π=cosπ2πysinπ2
y0+3π(1)=0πy1
3π=πy
3=y
The slope of the tangent line is then 3 so substitute m=-3 and the given point (x1,y1
