The formula for the derivative of y=cos[(8t-7)^{\frac{-6}{7}}] is given by:
y' = -8\cdot \cos[(8t-7)^{\frac{-6}{7}}]\cdot \sin[(8t-7)^{\frac{-6}{7}}]\cdot \frac{-6}{7}\cdot (8t-7)^{\frac{-13}{7}}
To simplify the derivative of y=cos[(8t-7)^{\frac{-6}{7}}], you can use the chain rule and the power rule for derivatives. This will result in the simplified form:
y' = \frac{48\cdot (8t-7)^{\frac{-13}{7}}\cdot \sin[(8t-7)^{\frac{-6}{7}}] + 8\cdot (8t-7)^{\frac{-12}{7}}\cdot \cos[(8t-7)^{\frac{-6}{7}}]}{7}
The exponent in the derivative of y=cos[(8t-7)^{\frac{-6}{7}}] is -6/7, which is the negative of the exponent in the original function. This is because the derivative of a function raised to a negative exponent is equal to the negative of the exponent multiplied by the derivative of the function.
Yes, the derivative of y=cos[(8t-7)^{\frac{-6}{7}}] can be written in a different form using trigonometric identities, such as the double angle formula for cosine. It can also be written as a product of two functions:
y' = -\frac{6}{7}\cdot \frac{\sin[2(8t-7)]}{(8t-7)^{\frac{13}{7}}}
The derivative of y=cos[(8t-7)^{\frac{-6}{7}}] represents the slope of the tangent line to the curve at any given point. It also represents the instantaneous rate of change of the function at that point. In geometric terms, it is the measure of how steep or flat the curve is at a particular point.
