$$\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{x^{2}}$$

cos(x)/x^2

Detail solution

Apply the quotient rule, which is:

$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$

$f{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = x^{2}$ .

To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Apply the power rule: $x^{2}$ goes to $2 x$
Now plug in to the quotient rule:

$\frac{- x^{2} \sin{\left(x \right)} - 2 x \cos{\left(x \right)}}{x^{4}}$
Now simplify:

$- \frac{x \sin{\left(x \right)} + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}}{x^{3}}$

The answer is:

$- \frac{x \sin{\left(x \right)} + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}}{x^{3}}$
