Problem, when trying to differentate sin(f(x)), with variable x

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello!
I would like to try some basic functions in Matlab. I faced two problems, which seems unable to solve for me.
If I type:
a=sin(3*x)
b=diff(a,x)
Then I run it:
a=sin(3*x)(3*x)
b=3*D(sin(3*x))(3*x)
I think it should be:
a=sin(3*x)
b=3*cos(3*x)
Please tell me what is wrong with my little code! Thank you!

syms x
a=sin(3*x)
b=diff(a,x)
The result is
b =
3*cos(3*x)

I think maybe you had something in your workspace that was interfering. Did you try clearing all variables, or restarting MATLAB?

try clearing the workspace

Thank you! Clearing my workspace solved the problem.
