Detail solution

Differentiate $\sin{\left(x \right)} - \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{2}$ term by term:
1. The derivative of sine is cosine:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$
2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
    1. Let $u = 2 x$ .
    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 $\frac{d}{d x} 2 x$ :
      1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
        
        Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
        
        So, the result is: $2$
      The result of the chain rule is:
      
      $2 \cos{\left(2 x \right)}$
    So, the result is: $\cos{\left(2 x \right)}$
  So, the result is: $- \cos{\left(2 x \right)}$
The result is: $\cos{\left(x \right)} - \cos{\left(2 x \right)}$

The answer is:

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