Answer

\[ \frac{d}{dx}(|sin(x)| = \begin{cases} cos(x) & x >0 \\ -cos(x) & x<0 \\ \end{cases} \]

Work Step by Step

We are given that \[\frac{d}{dx}|x|= \begin{cases} 1 & x >0 \\ -1& x<0 \\ \end{cases} \] We apply the chain rule: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(|sin(x)| = \begin{cases} 1 * (\frac{d}{dx} sin(x)) & x >0 \\ -1 * (\frac{d}{dx} sin(x)) & x<0 \\ \end{cases} \] \[ \frac{d}{dx}(|sin(x)| = \begin{cases} cos(x) & x >0 \\ -cos(x) & x<0 \\ \end{cases} \]
