Here is the problem: d by d x(cos(x)/x).

2
00:00:04.676 --> 00:00:08.763
Find the derivative of (cos(x) / x) with respect to x.

3
00:00:09.563 --> 00:00:16.320
Quotient rule: (u/v) prime equals (u prime v minus uv prime )/v squared.

4
00:00:16.770 --> 00:00:19.835
d by d x[cos x] equals negative sin x.

5
00:00:20.285 --> 00:00:21.899
Combine and simplify.

6
00:00:22.699 --> 00:00:28.864
So the answer is f prime of x equals -((sin(x) plus cos(x) / x) / x).

7
00:00:29.314 --> 00:00:42.317
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).

00:00:43.117 --> 00:00:49.851
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
