\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{2} cos (\frac{x}{2}))

- \frac{1}{4} sin (\frac{x}{2})

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{2} cos (\frac{x}{2}))

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{d x} (cos (\frac{x}{2}))

Apply the chain rule:

- sin (\frac{x}{2}) \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x}{2})

= - sin (\frac{x}{2}) \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x}{2})

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x}{2}) = \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2} (- sin (\frac{x}{2}) \frac{1}{2})

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (- sin (\frac{x}{2}) \frac{1}{2}) : - \frac{1}{4} sin (\frac{x}{2})

= - \frac{1}{4} sin (\frac{x}{2})

y^{^{'}} = y^{2} + y

\frac{d}{d x} ((3 x + 2)^{6})

\int_{- 7}^{7} \frac{1}{x} d x

x \to 2 lim (3 ln (x - 1))

y = \frac{x}{9 + x ^{2}}, (0, 0)
