Detail solution
  1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

    1. Let .

    2. Apply the power rule: goes to

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

      1. Differentiate term by term:

        1. Let .

        2. Apply the power rule: goes to

        3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

          1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

          The result of the chain rule is:

        4. The derivative of the constant is zero.

        The result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    So, the result is:

  2. Now simplify:
