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) - ------
