Expert Solution
Step 1

Using product rule,

(uv)'= u'v + v'u

Here we take,

u = sinx

v = cosx

df/dx =(uv)' =-6{d(sinx)/dx}*cosx -          6{d(cosx)/dx}*sinx

                     = cosx*cosx + (-sinx)*sinx

df/dx = -6(cos²x - sin²x)

We know the trigonometric identity that,

cos²x-sin²x = cos2x

Therefore,

df/dx = -6cos2x.
