Transform

Detail solution

Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
Apply the power rule: $u^{2}$ goes to $2 u$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
The result of the chain rule is:

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

$- \sin{\left(2 x \right)}$

The answer is:

$- \sin{\left(2 x \right)}$
