00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.281
Here is the problem: derivative of (cos(3x minus 2)) plus (sqrt(x cubed)).

2
00:00:06.731 --> 00:00:13.674
Find the derivative of (cos(3 x minus 2)) plus (sqrt(x cubed)) with respect to x.

3
00:00:14.474 --> 00:00:17.574
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

4
00:00:18.024 --> 00:00:24.944
Chain rule — d by d x[the square root of u] equals u prime /(2the square root of u.

5
00:00:25.394 --> 00:00:31.965
Power rule: d by d x[x to the power n] equals n times x to the power n minus 1.

6
00:00:32.415 --> 00:00:37.547
Chain rule — d by d x[cos u] equals negative sin u times u prime.

7
00:00:38.347 --> 00:00:41.911
Difference rule: differentiate each term separately.

8
00:00:42.361 --> 00:00:43.812
Constant multiple rule.

9
00:00:44.262 --> 00:00:45.864
Combine and simplify.

10
00:00:46.664 --> 00:00:56.625
So the answer is f prime of x equals x squared times 3 over 2 / sqrt(x cubed) minus 3sin(3 x minus 2).

11
00:00:57.075 --> 00:01:10.183
The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).

12
00:01:10.983 --> 00:01:17.752
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
