if f(x) = 5sinx / 2 + cosx ,,,,, what would f '(x) be?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
top part: again : low d high - high d low
d high : d/dx 5sin (x) = 5cos (x)
d low : d/dx 2 + cos(x) = - sin (x)
TOP PART: [2 + cos(x)] * 5cos (x) - 5sin (x) * [- sin (x)]
---- simplify = [2 + cos(x)] * 5cos (x) + 5sin2 (x)
BOTTOM PART: low2 = [2 + cos (x)]2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL ANSWER:
[2 + cos(x)] * 5cos (x) + 5sin2 (x) ------ top
-----------------------------------------------
[2 + cos (x)]2 ---------- bottom
