Explanation:
"differentiate "(cosx)^2" using the "color(blue)"chain rule"differentiate (cosx)2 using the chain rule
"Given "y=f(g(x))" then"Given y=f(g(x)) then
dy/dx=f'(g(x))xxg'(x)larrcolor(blue)"chain rule"dydx=f'(g(x))×g'(x)←chain rule
rArrd/dx((cosx)^2)=2cosx xxd/dx(cosx)
color(white)(xxxxxxxxxxxx)=-2sinxcosx=-sin2x
y=(cosx)^2-cosx
rArrdy/dx=-sin2x-(-sinx)
color(white)(rArrdy/dx)=sinx-sin2x
