Sum Rule
Reference
> Calculus: Differentiation
Description
\[\frac{d}{dx} f(x)+g(x)=(\frac{d}{dx} f(x))+(\frac{d}{dx} g(x))\]
Examples
\[\frac{d}{dx} \cos{x}+\sin{x}\]
1
Use
Sum Rule
: \(\frac{d}{dx} f(x)+g(x)=(\frac{d}{dx} f(x))+(\frac{d}{dx} g(x))\).
\[(\frac{d}{dx} \cos{x})+(\frac{d}{dx} \sin{x})\]
2
Use
Trigonometric Differentiation
: the derivative of \(\cos{x}\) is \(-\sin{x}\).
\[-\sin{x}+(\frac{d}{dx} \sin{x})\]
3
Use
Trigonometric Differentiation
: the derivative of \(\sin{x}\) is \(\cos{x}\).
\[\cos{x}-\sin{x}\]
Done
cos(x)-sin(x)
