2 cos (x) + sin(x) - 1
d / 2 \ --\cos (x) + sin(x) - 1/ dx
Differentiate term by term:
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
The result of the chain rule is:
The derivative of sine is cosine:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
-2*cos(x)*sin(x) + cos(x)
2 2 -sin(x) - 2*cos (x) + 2*sin (x)
(-1 + 8*sin(x))*cos(x)
