Transform

Detail solution

Apply the product rule:

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

$f{\left(x \right)} = \sqrt{x}$ ; to find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Apply the power rule: $\sqrt{x}$ goes to $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}$
$g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ ; to find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
The result is: $- \sqrt{x} \sin{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2 \sqrt{x}}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{- x \sin{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}}{\sqrt{x}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{- x \sin{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}}{\sqrt{x}}$
