derivative of

y = cos^{2} (x)

- sin (2 x)

Solution steps

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

= 2 cos (x) (- sin (x))

Simplify

2 cos (x) (- sin (x)) : - sin (2 x)

= - sin (2 x)

x y^{^{'}} - y = x^{3}

f (x) = - x

\int \frac{256 - x ^{2}}{x} d x

\int \frac{x}{( x ^{2} + 1 ) 1 - x ^{4}} d x

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (cos (y - x))
