Piecewise:

The solution

You have entered [src]
1 - cos(3*x)
$$1 - \cos{\left(3 x \right)}$$
1 - cos(3*x)
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

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

      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:

      So, the result is:

    The result is:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
3*sin(3*x)
$$3 \sin{\left(3 x \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
9*cos(3*x)
$$9 \cos{\left(3 x \right)}$$
The third derivative [src]
-27*sin(3*x)
$$- 27 \sin{\left(3 x \right)}$$
The graph
