_____________ / 2 -\/ cos (x) + 2
-sqrt(cos(x)^2 + 2)
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 :
Differentiate term by term:
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:
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:
cos(x)*sin(x) ---------------- _____________ / 2 \/ cos (x) + 2
