What is the first derivative of the function x*sinx+cosx ?

We'll differentiate the function with respect to
x.


We'll note the function as y =
f(x):


dy/dx = d/dx(x)*sinx + x*d/dx(sin x) +
d/dx(cosx)


dy/dx = sin x + x*cosx - sin
x


We'll eliminate like
terms


dy/dx = x*cosx


The first
derivative of the function f(x) is:


f'(x) =
x*cos x
