2 /pi*x\ pi *a*cos|----| \2*l / --------------- 2 4*l
((pi^2*a)*cos((pi*x)/((2*l))))/((4*l^2))
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
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:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
3 1 /pi*x\ -a*pi *----*sin|----| 2 \2*l / 4*l ---------------------- 2*l
4 /pi*x\ -a*pi *cos|----| \2*l / ----------------- 4 16*l
