a*(1 - cos(2*x))

Detail solution

The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
1. Differentiate $1 - \cos{\left(2 x \right)}$ term by term:
  1. The derivative of the constant $1$ is zero.
  2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
    1. Let $u = 2 x$ .
    2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d u} \cos{\left(u \right)} = - \sin{\left(u \right)}$
    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} 2 x$ :
      1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
        
        Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
        
        So, the result is: $2$
      The result of the chain rule is:
      
      $- 2 \sin{\left(2 x \right)}$
    So, the result is: $2 \sin{\left(2 x \right)}$
  The result is: $2 \sin{\left(2 x \right)}$
So, the result is: $2 a \sin{\left(2 x \right)}$

The answer is:

2 a \sin{\left(2 x \right)}
