Find the derivative of y=sin2(5x) with respect to x.

A.

10 sin 5x cos 5x

B.

5 sin5x cos 5x

C.

2 sin 5x cos 5x

D.

15 sin 5x cos 5x

Correct answer is A

y=sin2(5x)

Let u = sin 5x

dudx=5cos5x

\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm d u} = 2u

\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm d x} = 2u . 5 \cos 5x

= 10u \cos 5x

= 10 \sin 5x \cos 5x
