F(x) = 6 sin(x) + 2 cos(x)F'(x) = 6 cos(x) - 2 sin(x)
The derivative of sin (x) is cos (x). It does not work the other way around, though. The derivative of cos (x) is -sin (x).
(cos x sin x) / (cos x sin x) = 1. The derivative of a constant, such as 1, is zero.
Write sec x as a function of sines and cosines (in this case, sec x = 1 / cos x). Then use the division formula to take the first derivative. Take the derivative of the first derivative to get the second derivative. Reminder: the derivative of sin x is cos x; the derivative of cos x is - sin x.
The derivative of cos x is -sin x, the derivative of square root of x is 1/(2 root(x)). Applying the chain rule, the derivative of cos root(x) is -sin x times 1/(2 root(x)), or - sin x / (2 root x).
