Derivative of sin^2x+cos^2x

1. Differentiate $\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}$ term by term:

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

   2. Apply the power rule: $u^{2}$ goes to $2 u$

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

      1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

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

      The result of the chain rule is:

      $$2 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}$$

   4. Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$.

   5. Apply the power rule: $u^{2}$ goes to $2 u$

   6. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)}$:

      1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

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

      The result of the chain rule is:

      $$- 2 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}$$

   The result is: $0$

The answer is:

$$0$$
