2 x + 4 ------ cos(x)
(x^2 + 4)/cos(x)
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Apply the power rule: goes to
The result is:
To find :
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
/ 2 \ 2*x \x + 4/*sin(x) ------ + --------------- cos(x) 2 cos (x)
/ 2 \ | 2*sin (x)| / 2\ 4*x*sin(x) 2 + |1 + ---------|*\4 + x / + ---------- | 2 | cos(x) \ cos (x) / ----------------------------------------- cos(x)
/ 2 \ / 2\ | 6*sin (x)| \4 + x /*|5 + ---------|*sin(x) / 2 \ | 2 | | 2*sin (x)| 6*sin(x) \ cos (x) / 6*x*|1 + ---------| + -------- + ------------------------------- | 2 | cos(x) cos(x) \ cos (x) / ---------------------------------------------------------------- cos(x)
