sin(x) ------ + 1 2*x
sin(x)/((2*x)) + 1
Differentiate term by term:
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
The derivative of sine is cosine:
To find :
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:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
1 sin(x) ---*cos(x) - ------ 2*x 2 2*x
sin(x) sin(x) cos(x) - ------ + ------ - ------ 2 2 x x -------------------------- x
cos(x) 3*sin(x) 3*cos(x) 3*sin(x) - ------ - -------- + -------- + -------- 2 3 2 2*x x x ----------------------------------------- x
