      x       
$$\frac{\log{\left(2 \right)} \cos^{4}{\left(x \right)}}{x}$$
(cos(x)^4*log(2))/x
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

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

      1. Let .

      2. Apply the power rule: goes to

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

        1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

        The result of the chain rule is:

      So, the result is:

    To find :

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:
