$$\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(2 x - 3 \right)}$$
Detail solution
  1. Let .

  2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        So, the result is:

      2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      The result is:

    The result of the chain rule is:

  4. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
-2*sin(2*x - 3)
$$- 2 \sin{\left(2 x - 3 \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
-4*cos(-3 + 2*x)
$$- 4 \cos{\left(2 x - 3 \right)}$$
The third derivative [src]
8*sin(-3 + 2*x)
$$8 \sin{\left(2 x - 3 \right)}$$
