Detail solution
  1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:

  2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. Let .

    2. The derivative of sine is cosine:

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

      1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        So, the result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    To find :

    1. Let .

    2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

      1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        So, the result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

  3. Now simplify:
