________ \/ cos(x)
d / ________\ --\\/ cos(x) / dx
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
The result of the chain rule is:
The answer is:
-sin(x) ------------ ________ 2*\/ cos(x)
/ 2 \ | ________ sin (x) | -|2*\/ cos(x) + ---------| | 3/2 | \ cos (x)/ ---------------------------- 4
/ 2 \ | 3*sin (x)| -|2 + ---------|*sin(x) | 2 | \ cos (x) / ------------------------ ________ 8*\/ cos(x)
