Area Differentiation 1Fc76F
1. **Problem (a): Find the area enclosed by the curve $y = 4\cos 3x$, the x-axis, and the lines $x=0$ and $x=\frac{\pi}{6}$.**
The area under a curve from $x=a$ to $x=b$ is given by the definite integral:
$$\text{Area} = \int_a^b y\,dx$$
Here, $y = 4\cos 3x$, $a=0$, and $b=\frac{\pi}{6}$.
2. **Calculate the integral:**
$$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} 4\cos 3x\, dx = 4 \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} \cos 3x\, dx$$
Use the substitution rule for integration:
$$\int \cos(kx) dx = \frac{1}{k} \sin(kx) + C$$
So,
$$4 \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} \cos 3x\, dx = 4 \left[ \frac{1}{3} \sin 3x \right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} = \frac{4}{3} \left( \sin \frac{3\pi}{6} - \sin 0 \right)$$
3. **Evaluate the sine values:**
$$\sin \frac{3\pi}{6} = \sin \frac{\pi}{2} = 1, \quad \sin 0 = 0$$
Therefore,
$$\text{Area} = \frac{4}{3} (1 - 0) = \frac{4}{3}$$

4. **Problem (b): Differentiate $y = e^{3t} \sin 4t$ with respect to $t$.**
Use the product rule:
$$\frac{d}{dt}[u v] = u' v + u v'$$
Let $u = e^{3t}$ and $v = \sin 4t$.
5. **Find derivatives:**
$$u' = \frac{d}{dt} e^{3t} = 3 e^{3t}$$
$$v' = \frac{d}{dt} \sin 4t = 4 \cos 4t$$
6. **Apply product rule:**
$$\frac{dy}{dt} = 3 e^{3t} \sin 4t + e^{3t} (4 \cos 4t) = e^{3t} (3 \sin 4t + 4 \cos 4t)$$

7. **Problem (c): Find the differential coefficient of $y = \tan ax$.**
Recall the derivative of $\tan u$ with respect to $x$ is:
$$\frac{d}{dx} \tan u = \sec^2 u \cdot \frac{du}{dx}$$
Here, $u = ax$, so $\frac{du}{dx} = a$.
8. **Calculate derivative:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = a \sec^2 (ax)$$
---
**Final answers:**
(a) Area = $\frac{4}{3}$
(b) $\frac{dy}{dt} = e^{3t} (3 \sin 4t + 4 \cos 4t)$
(c) $\frac{dy}{dx} = a \sec^2 (ax)$
