(1 - cos(2*x))/2
Detail solution
  1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

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

        1. Let .

        2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

        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. Apply the power rule: goes to

            So, the result is:

          The result of the chain rule is:

        So, the result is:

      The result is:

    So, the result is:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
sin(2*x)
$$\sin{\left(2 x \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
2*cos(2*x)
$$2 \cos{\left(2 x \right)}$$
The third derivative [src]
-4*sin(2*x)
$$- 4 \sin{\left(2 x \right)}$$
