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

    1. Let .

    2. The derivative of sine is cosine:

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

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

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

          1. Apply the power rule: goes to

          So, the result is:

        So, the result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    So, the result is:

  2. Now simplify:
