log(cos(2*x - 1/7)) + 2
log(cos(2*x - 1/7)) + 2
Differentiate term by term:
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Let .
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
-2*sin(2*x - 1/7) ----------------- cos(2*x - 1/7)
/ 2 \ | sin (-1/7 + 2*x)| -4*|1 + ----------------| | 2 | \ cos (-1/7 + 2*x)/
/ 2 \
| sin (-1/7 + 2*x)|
-16*|1 + ----------------|*sin(-1/7 + 2*x)
| 2 |
\ cos (-1/7 + 2*x)/
------------------------------------------
cos(-1/7 + 2*x)
