Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
The derivative of sine is cosine:
To find :
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
To find :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
