Detail solution

  1. Apply the product rule:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} g{\left(x \right)} = f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}

    f(x)=xf{\left(x \right)} = \sqrt{x}; to find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Apply the power rule: x\sqrt{x} goes to 12x\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}

    g(x)=cos⁡(x)g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}; to find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

      ddxcos⁡(x)=−sin⁡(x)\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}

    The result is: −xsin⁡(x)+cos⁡(x)2x- \sqrt{x} \sin{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2 \sqrt{x}}

  2. Now simplify:

    −xsin⁡(x)+cos⁡(x)2x\frac{- x \sin{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}}{\sqrt{x}}

The answer is:

−xsin⁡(x)+cos⁡(x)2x\frac{- x \sin{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}}{\sqrt{x}}
