/ 2 2 \ 8*\sin (x) - cos (x)/
8*(sin(x)^2 - cos(x)^2)
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Differentiate term by term:
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of sine is cosine:
The result of the chain rule is:
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
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:
So, the result is:
The result is:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
/ 2 2 \ 32*\cos (x) - sin (x)/
