Derivative of sin0.5x

1. Let $u = 0.5 x$.

2. The derivative of sine is cosine:

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

3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} 0.5 x$:

   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: $0.5$

   The result of the chain rule is:

   $$0.5 \cos{\left(0.5 x \right)}$$

The answer is:
