Derivative of 1-cos8x

1. Differentiate $1 - \cos{\left(8 x \right)}$ term by term:

   1. The derivative of the constant $1$ is zero.

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

      1. Let $u = 8 x$.

      2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

         $$\frac{d}{d u} \cos{\left(u \right)} = - \sin{\left(u \right)}$$

      3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} 8 x$:

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

            1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

            So, the result is: $8$

         The result of the chain rule is:

         $$- 8 \sin{\left(8 x \right)}$$

      So, the result is: $8 \sin{\left(8 x \right)}$

   The result is: $8 \sin{\left(8 x \right)}$

The answer is:
