/ pi\ -cos|3*x + --| \ 6 / --------------- 3
-cos(3*x + pi/6)/3
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 :
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:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
/ pi\ 3*cos|3*x + --| \ 6 /
