sin(log(x))/x
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)g2(x)\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}

    f(x)=sin(log(x))f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(\log{\left(x \right)} \right)} and g(x)=xg{\left(x \right)} = x.

    To find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Let u=log(x)u = \log{\left(x \right)}.

    2. The derivative of sine is cosine:

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

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddxlog(x)\frac{d}{d x} \log{\left(x \right)}:

      1. The derivative of log(x)\log{\left(x \right)} is 1x\frac{1}{x}.

      The result of the chain rule is:

      cos(log(x))x\frac{\cos{\left(\log{\left(x \right)} \right)}}{x}

    To find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

    sin(log(x))+cos(log(x))x2\frac{- \sin{\left(\log{\left(x \right)} \right)} + \cos{\left(\log{\left(x \right)} \right)}}{x^{2}}

  2. Now simplify:

    2cos(log(x)+π4)x2\frac{\sqrt{2} \cos{\left(\log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\pi}{4} \right)}}{x^{2}}


The answer is:

2cos(log(x)+π4)x2\frac{\sqrt{2} \cos{\left(\log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\pi}{4} \right)}}{x^{2}}
