I'm supposed to calculate the differential of f(x)= sin(x)*ln(x)*(x-4)^2 using the product rule. I know what the product rule is but I can't split this into two bits that are easy to differentiate. How do I do it?

You say you are familiar with the product rule i.e. f(x)=u(x)v(x) f'(x)= u(x)v'(x)+v(x)u'(x) (Equation 1)

OK so why don't we try applying that here let's try splitting the function in this proble...

Why do we have to use radians instead of degrees?

Radians are used a lot in A level maths because at higher levels, they allow for simplification of trigonometric functions. For example, when using radians, it can be said that:

Sin(angle) ≈ angle ...
