2*cos(x)

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

2*cos(x)

Detail solution

The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
So, the result is: $- 2 \sin{\left(x \right)}$

The answer is:

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