Find the derivative of cos(x^2) with respect to x
To find the derivative of $ \cos(x^2) $ with respect to $ x $, we use the chain rule:
\n
$$ \frac{d}{dx} \cos(u) = -\sin(u) \cdot \frac{du}{dx} $$
\n
Here, let $ u = x^2 $. Then:
\n
$$ \frac{du}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = 2x $$
\n
Now apply the chain rule:
\n
$$ \frac{d}{dx} \cos(x^2) = -\sin(x^2) \cdot 2x $$
\n
The final derivative is:
\n
$$ \frac{d}{dx} \cos(x^2) = -2x \sin(x^2) $$
