derivative of

y = cos^{4} (x)

- 4 cos^{3} (x) sin (x)

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (cos^{4} (x))

Apply the chain rule:

4 (cos (x))^{3} \frac{d}{d x} (cos (x))

= 4 (cos (x))^{3} \frac{d}{d x} (cos (x))

\frac{d}{d x} (cos (x)) = - sin (x)

= 4 (cos (x))^{3} (- sin (x))

Simplify

= - 4 cos^{3} (x) sin (x)

sin (x), (\frac{π}{2})

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{3} - 3 x^{2})

\frac{5 t + 300}{t ^{2} + 25}

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x - 2}{2 x + 1})

f (x) = 2 x - 5 x, (4, - 2)
