1 - cos (x)
$$1 - \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}$$
1 - cos(x)^3
Detail solution
  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. 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:

      So, the result is:

    The result is:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
     2          
3*cos (x)*sin(x)
$$3 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
  /   2           2   \       
3*\cos (x) - 2*sin (x)/*cos(x)
$$3 \left(- 2 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
The third derivative [src]
  /       2           2   \       
3*\- 7*cos (x) + 2*sin (x)/*sin(x)
$$3 \left(2 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 7 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \sin{\left(x \right)}$$
