When we see this expression, we should think "square root of something",
| \displaystyle \sqrt{\bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\phantom{\cos x}}}\,\textrm{,} |
and in order to differentiate it, we should first differentiate the outer function , "the square root of", with respect to its argument and, after that, multiply by the derivative of the inner functional expression \displaystyle \bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\phantom{\cos x}} = \cos x,
| \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\,\sqrt{\bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\cos x}} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{\bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\cos x}}}\cdot \bigl(\bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\cos x}\bigr)'\,, |
where we have used the differentiation rule
| \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\,\sqrt{x} = \frac{d}{dx}\,x^{1/2} = \tfrac{1}{2}x^{1/2-1} = \tfrac{1}{2}x^{-1/2} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\,\textrm{.} |
Thus, we obtain
| \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\,\sqrt{\cos x} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{\cos x}}\cdot (-\sin x) = -\frac{\sin x}{2\sqrt{\cos x}}\,\textrm{.} |
