Math Problem Statement

derivative of 2senx+cos2x

Solution

To compute the derivative of 2sin(x)+cos(2x)2\sin(x) + \cos(2x), we differentiate each term separately.

  1. The derivative of 2sin(x)2\sin(x): ddx[2sin(x)]=2cos(x)\frac{d}{dx}[2\sin(x)] = 2\cos(x)

  2. The derivative of cos(2x)\cos(2x) (using the chain rule): [ \frac{d}{dx}[\cos(2x)] = -\sin(2x) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[2x] = -2\sin(2x) ]

Now combine the results: ddx[2sin(x)+cos(2x)]=2cos(x)2sin(2x)\frac{d}{dx}[2\sin(x) + \cos(2x)] = 2\cos(x) - 2\sin(2x)

Final Answer:

2cos(x)2sin(2x)\boxed{2\cos(x) - 2\sin(2x)}
