/ __________\ 3*log\\/ cos(2*x) /
3*log(sqrt(cos(2*x)))
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Let .
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The result of the chain rule is:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
-3*sin(2*x) ----------- cos(2*x)
/ 2 \ | sin (2*x)| -6*|1 + ---------| | 2 | \ cos (2*x)/
