Find $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{2} \sin{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$.
Solution
Let $$$H{\left(x \right)} = x^{2} \sin{\left(x \right)}$$$.
Take the logarithm of both sides: $$$\ln\left(H{\left(x \right)}\right) = \ln\left(x^{2} \sin{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$.
Rewrite the RHS using the properties of logarithms: $$$\ln\left(H{\left(x \right)}\right) = 2 \ln\left(x\right) + \ln\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$.
Differentiate separately both sides of the equation: $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)\right) = \frac{d}{dx} \left(2 \ln\left(x\right) + \ln\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)$$$.
Differentiate the LHS of the equation.
The function $$$\ln\left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$ is the composition $$$f{\left(g{\left(x \right)} \right)}$$$ of two functions $$$f{\left(u \right)} = \ln\left(u\right)$$$ and $$$g{\left(x \right)} = H{\left(x \right)}$$$.
Apply the chain rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(f{\left(g{\left(x \right)} \right)}\right) = \frac{d}{du} \left(f{\left(u \right)}\right) \frac{d}{dx} \left(g{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(\ln\left(u\right)\right) \frac{d}{dx} \left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)}$$The derivative of the natural logarithm is $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(\ln\left(u\right)\right) = \frac{1}{u}$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(\ln\left(u\right)\right)\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(H{\left(x \right)}\right) = {\color{red}\left(\frac{1}{u}\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)$$Return to the old variable:
$$\frac{\frac{d}{dx} \left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)}{{\color{red}\left(u\right)}} = \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)}{{\color{red}\left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)}}$$Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)\right) = \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)}{H{\left(x \right)}}$$$.
Differentiate the RHS of the equation.
The derivative of a sum/difference is the sum/difference of derivatives:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(2 \ln\left(x\right) + \ln\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(2 \ln\left(x\right)\right) + \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)\right)}$$Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(c f{\left(x \right)}\right) = c \frac{d}{dx} \left(f{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$ with $$$c = 2$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \ln\left(x\right)$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(2 \ln\left(x\right)\right)\right)} + \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)\right) = {\color{red}\left(2 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right)\right)} + \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)$$The function $$$\ln\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$ is the composition $$$f{\left(g{\left(x \right)} \right)}$$$ of two functions $$$f{\left(u \right)} = \ln\left(u\right)$$$ and $$$g{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)}$$$.
Apply the chain rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(f{\left(g{\left(x \right)} \right)}\right) = \frac{d}{du} \left(f{\left(u \right)}\right) \frac{d}{dx} \left(g{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)\right)} + 2 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right) = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(\ln\left(u\right)\right) \frac{d}{dx} \left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)} + 2 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right)$$The derivative of the natural logarithm is $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(\ln\left(u\right)\right) = \frac{1}{u}$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(\ln\left(u\right)\right)\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right) + 2 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right) = {\color{red}\left(\frac{1}{u}\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right) + 2 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right)$$Return to the old variable:
$$2 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right) + \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)}{{\color{red}\left(u\right)}} = 2 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right) + \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)}{{\color{red}\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)}}$$The derivative of the sine is $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right) = \cos{\left(x \right)}$$$:
$$2 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right) + \frac{{\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}} = 2 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right) + \frac{{\color{red}\left(\cos{\left(x \right)}\right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}}$$The derivative of the natural logarithm is $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right) = \frac{1}{x}$$$:
$$2 {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\ln\left(x\right)\right)\right)} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}} = 2 {\color{red}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}}$$Simplify:
$$\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}} + \frac{2}{x} = \frac{\frac{x}{\tan{\left(x \right)}} + 2}{x}$$Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(2 \ln\left(x\right) + \ln\left(\sin{\left(x \right)}\right)\right) = \frac{\frac{x}{\tan{\left(x \right)}} + 2}{x}$$$.
Hence, $$$\frac{\frac{d}{dx} \left(H{\left(x \right)}\right)}{H{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{\frac{x}{\tan{\left(x \right)}} + 2}{x}$$$.
Therefore, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(H{\left(x \right)}\right) = \frac{\left(\frac{x}{\tan{\left(x \right)}} + 2\right) H{\left(x \right)}}{x} = x \left(x \cos{\left(x \right)} + 2 \sin{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$.
