cos|------|
   \log(2)/
$$\cos{\left(\frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}} \right)}$$
cos(log(x)/log(2))
Detail solution
  1. Let .

  2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

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

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

      1. The derivative of is .

      So, the result is:

    The result of the chain rule is:

  4. Now simplify:


The answer is:
