Matlab ignores pi in a function

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
When I try to use:
syms x; y=3*cos(pi-x^2); diff(y)
it gives
6*x*sin(x^2)
it ignores the pi, giving an incorrect solution and I don't know how to solve it.
It also says that "y=-3*cos(x^2)", ignoring the pi again.
Thanks in advance.

Why do you incorrectly think that cos(pi-theta) is not equal to -cos(theta)? It is. Just try plotting some angles on the unit circle to prove it to yourself. So you can use either equation because they are equivalent.

...I see it now, it seems I'm just an idiot.
Thank you so much, I'm sorry for the troubles.
