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 answer is:
-sin(x) -------- 2 cos (x)
/ 2 \ | 2*sin (x)| -|1 + ---------| | 2 | \ cos (x) / ----------------- cos(x)
/ 2 \ | 6*sin (x)| -|5 + ---------|*sin(x) | 2 | \ cos (x) / ------------------------ 2 cos (x)
