________ / sin(x) / ------ \/ 2
sqrt(sin(x)/2)
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
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 sine is cosine:
So, the result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The answer is:
___ ________ \/ 2 *\/ sin(x) ----------------*cos(x) 2 ----------------------- 2*sin(x)
/ 2 \ ___ | ________ cos (x) | -\/ 2 *|2*\/ sin(x) + ---------| | 3/2 | \ sin (x)/ ---------------------------------- 8
/ 2 \ ___ | 3*cos (x)| \/ 2 *|2 + ---------|*cos(x) | 2 | \ sin (x) / ---------------------------- ________ 16*\/ sin(x)
