Here, we show you a step-by-step solved example of derivatives of trigonometric functions. This solution was automatically generated by our smart calculator:
The derivative of the cosine of a function is equal to minus the sine of the function times the derivative of the function, in other words, if $f(x) = \cos(x)$, then $f'(x) = -\sin(x)\cdot D_x(x)$
The derivative of the constant function ($-5$) is equal to zero
The derivative of the linear function is equal to $1$
The derivative of a sum of two or more functions is the sum of the derivatives of each function
The derivative of a function multiplied by a constant is equal to the constant times the derivative of the function
The power rule for differentiation states that if $n$ is a real number and $f(x) = x^n$, then $f'(x) = nx^{n-1}$
Subtract the values $2$ and $-1$
The power rule for differentiation states that if $n$ is a real number and $f(x) = x^n$, then $f'(x) = nx^{n-1}$
Multiply $3$ times $2$
