x - 2*sin (x)
$$x - 2 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}$$
x - 2*sin(x)^2
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

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

      1. Let .

      2. Apply the power rule: goes to

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

        1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

        The result of the chain rule is:

      So, the result is:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
1 - 4*cos(x)*sin(x)
$$- 4 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)} + 1$$
The second derivative [src]
  /   2         2   \
4*\sin (x) - cos (x)/
$$4 \left(\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} - \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
16*cos(x)*sin(x)
$$16 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
