Detail solution
  1. Let .

  2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

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

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      The result is:

    The result of the chain rule is:

  4. Now simplify:


The answer is:
