Transform

Detail solution

Apply the product rule:

$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} g{\left(x \right)} = f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$

$f{\left(x \right)} = x^{3}$ ; to find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Apply the power rule: $x^{3}$ goes to $3 x^{2}$
$g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ ; to find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
The result is: $- x^{3} \sin{\left(x \right)} + 3 x^{2} \cos{\left(x \right)}$
Now simplify:

$x^{2} \left(- x \sin{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)$

The answer is:

$x^{2} \left(- x \sin{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)$
