Textbook Question
Find the derivative of the following functions.
y = x sin x

1
Identify the function to differentiate: y = x sin(x). This is a product of two functions: u = x and v = sin(x).
Apply the product rule for differentiation, which states that if y = u v, then y' = u' v + u v'.
Differentiate u = x to find u', which is simply 1.
Differentiate v = sin(x) to find v', which is cos(x).
Substitute u, u', v, and v' into the product rule formula to express the derivative y'.
