Derivative of y=x*cosx-sinx

1. Differentiate $x \cos{\left(x \right)} - \sin{\left(x \right)}$ term by term:

   1. Apply the product rule:

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

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

      1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

      $g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$; 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: $- x \sin{\left(x \right)} + \cos{\left(x \right)}$

   2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

      1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

         $$\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$$

      So, the result is: $- \cos{\left(x \right)}$

   The result is: $- x \sin{\left(x \right)}$

The answer is:

$$- x \sin{\left(x \right)}$$
