2 sin(2*x) - cos (x)
d / 2 \ --\sin(2*x) - cos (x)/ dx
Differentiate term by term:
Let .
The derivative of sine is cosine:
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
The result of the chain rule is:
So, the result is:
The result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
2*cos(2*x) + 2*cos(x)*sin(x)
/ 2 2 \ 2*\cos (x) - sin (x) - 2*sin(2*x)/
-8*(cos(x)*sin(x) + cos(2*x))
