Differentiate 3x+(sin(2x)+cos(x)) term by term:
-
Differentiate sin(2x)+cos(x) term by term:
-
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
dxdcos(x)=−sin(x)
-
Let u=2x.
-
The derivative of sine is cosine:
dudsin(u)=cos(u)
-
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by dxd2x:
-
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
-
Apply the power rule: x goes to 1
So, the result is: 2
The result of the chain rule is:
2cos(2x)
The result is: −sin(x)+2cos(2x)
-
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
-
Apply the power rule: x goes to 1
So, the result is: 3
The result is: −sin(x)+2cos(2x)+3
