You use the same power formula which you use for other powers of x, so the derivate is (1/2)x-1/2. This is the same as 1 / (2 times square root of x).

What is the derivative of the square root of 2 raised to the power of cos x?

The derivative of 2^x is 2^x * ln2 so the derivative of 2^cosx * ln2 multiplied by d/dx of cox, which is -sinx so the derivative of the inside function is -sinx * 2^cosx *ln2. As to the final question, using the chain rule, d/dx (2^cosx)^0.5 will equal half of (2^cosx)^-0.5 * -sinx * 2^cosx * ln2


What is the derivative of x?

The derivative is 2x based on the power rule. Multiply the power by the coefficient of x then drop the power by one.

Derivative of cosx?

The derivative of cos(x) is negative sin(x). Also, the derivative of sin(x) is cos(x).


What is the derivative of 3cosx?

The derivative of 3cos(x) is -3sin(x). This can be found using the chain rule, which states that the derivative of a composition of functions is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function, multiplied by the derivative of the inner function. In this case, the derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x), and when multiplied by the constant 3, we get -3sin(x) as the derivative of 3cos(x).
