How can we find the derivative of 7w+sinw7w+\sin{w}?

Below is the solution.



ddw7w+sinw\frac{d}{dw} 7w+\sin{w}

1
Use Sum Rule: ddxf(x)+g(x)=(ddxf(x))+(ddxg(x))\frac{d}{dx} f(x)+g(x)=(\frac{d}{dx} f(x))+(\frac{d}{dx} g(x)).
(ddw7w)+(ddwsinw)(\frac{d}{dw} 7w)+(\frac{d}{dw} \sin{w})

2
Use Power Rule: ddxxn=nxn1\frac{d}{dx} {x}^{n}=n{x}^{n-1}.
7+(ddwsinw)7+(\frac{d}{dw} \sin{w})

3
Use Trigonometric Differentiation: the derivative of sinx\sin{x} is cosx\cos{x}.
7+cosw7+\cos{w}
