TopicProduct & Quotient Rules
TypeFind derivative of quotient
DifficultyStandard +0.8 Part (i) is a routine quotient rule application worth ~2 marks. Part (ii) is substantially harder, requiring recognition that the derivative from (i) connects to the integrand through multiple trigonometric identities (double angle formulas, simplification of √(1+cos2x) = √2|cosx|), then careful evaluation of a definite integral. The multi-step algebraic manipulation and connection between parts elevates this above a standard C4 question.

  1. Use the quotient rule to show that the derivative of \(\frac { \cos x } { \sin x }\) is \(\frac { - 1 } { \sin ^ { 2 } x }\).
  2. Show that \(\int _ { \frac { 1 } { 6 } \pi } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi } \frac { \sqrt { 1 + \cos 2 x } } { \sin x \sin 2 x } \mathrm {~d} x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } ( \sqrt { 6 } - \sqrt { 2 } )\).
