-log(2)*cos(log(2*x))
d --(-log(2)*cos(log(2*x))) dx
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
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 result of the chain rule is:
The result of the chain rule is:
So, the result is:
The answer is:
log(2)*sin(log(2*x)) -------------------- x
-(-cos(log(2*x)) + sin(log(2*x)))*log(2) ----------------------------------------- 2 x
(-3*cos(log(2*x)) + sin(log(2*x)))*log(2) ----------------------------------------- 3 x
