derivative of

2 cos^{2} (\frac{t}{2})

- sin (t)

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d t} (2 cos^{2} (\frac{t}{2}))

Take the constant out:

(a \cdot f)^{'} = a \cdot f^{'}

= 2 \frac{d}{d t} (cos^{2} (\frac{t}{2}))

Apply the chain rule:

2 cos (\frac{t}{2}) \frac{d}{d t} (cos (\frac{t}{2}))

= 2 cos (\frac{t}{2}) \frac{d}{d t} (cos (\frac{t}{2}))

\frac{d}{d t} (cos (\frac{t}{2})) = - sin (\frac{t}{2}) \frac{1}{2}

= 2 \cdot 2 cos (\frac{t}{2}) (- sin (\frac{t}{2}) \frac{1}{2})

Simplify

2 \cdot 2 cos (\frac{t}{2}) (- sin (\frac{t}{2}) \frac{1}{2}) : - sin (t)

= - sin (t)

(z - i)^{3}

y = \frac{1}{( x ^{2} ) + x ^{2}}

\frac{d}{d x} (5 \cdot 2 tan^{23} (x))

2 x - (\frac{250}{x ^{2}})

\frac{60}{( 12 + x ^{2} )}
