First Derivative Calculator(Solver) with Steps

Free derivatives calculator(solver) that gets the detailed solution of the first derivative of a function.

Function
[tex]\frac{d}{d w} \sin{\left (\frac{1}{\cos{\left (6 w \right )}} \right )}[/tex]

  1. Let [tex]u = \frac{1}{\cos{\left (6 w \right )}}[/tex].

  2. The derivative of sine is cosine:

    [tex]\frac{d}{d u} \sin{\left (u \right )} = \cos{\left (u \right )}[/tex]

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by [tex]\frac{d}{d w} \frac{1}{\cos{\left (6 w \right )}}[/tex]:

    1. Let [tex]u = \cos{\left (6 w \right )}[/tex].

    2. Apply the power rule: [tex]\frac{1}{u}[/tex] goes to [tex]- \frac{1}{u^{2}}[/tex]

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by [tex]\frac{d}{d w} \cos{\left (6 w \right )}[/tex]:

      1. Let [tex]u = 6 w[/tex].

      2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

        [tex]\frac{d}{d u} \cos{\left (u \right )} = - \sin{\left (u \right )}[/tex]

      3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by [tex]\frac{d}{d w}\left(6 w\right)[/tex]:

        1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

          1. Apply the power rule: [tex]w[/tex] goes to [tex]1[/tex]

          So, the result is: [tex]6[/tex]

        The result of the chain rule is:

        [tex]- 6 \sin{\left (6 w \right )}[/tex]

      The result of the chain rule is:

      [tex]\frac{6 \sin{\left (6 w \right )}}{\cos^{2}{\left (6 w \right )}}[/tex]

    The result of the chain rule is:

    [tex]\frac{6 \cos{\left (\frac{1}{\cos{\left (6 w \right )}} \right )}}{\cos^{2}{\left (6 w \right )}} \sin{\left (6 w \right )}[/tex]


The answer is:

[tex]\frac{6 \cos{\left (\frac{1}{\cos{\left (6 w \right )}} \right )}}{\cos^{2}{\left (6 w \right )}} \sin{\left (6 w \right )}[/tex]
