Use the product rule: Let   u = cos3x ,     v = cosec4x Then du/dx = -3sin3x , dv/dx = -4cosec4xcot4x  (standard result, given in the formula booklet) Hence dy/dx = -4cosec4xcot4xcos3x - 3sin3xcosec4x . (...

Internal energy, temperature, and heat are closely related but distinct concepts. The microscopic particles that make up a body are in constant motion and may exert forces on ea...
