           x
$$\cos{\left(2 x \right)} + \frac{1}{x}$$
cos(2*x) + 1/x
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    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. Apply the power rule: goes to

        So, the result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    4. Apply the power rule: goes to

    The result is:


The answer is:
