<p>Substituting these into<a>equation</a>(1), f'(x) = limₕ→₀ [cos(5(x + h)) - cos(5x)] / h = limₕ→₀ [cos(5x + 5h) - cos(5x)] / h = limₕ→₀ [-2sin(5x + 5h/2)sin(5h/2)] / h = limₕ→₀ [-2sin(5x + 5h/2)sin(5h/2)] / (h/2) · (1/2)</p>

<p>We will now prove the derivative of cos(5x) using the<a>product</a>rule. The step-by-step process is demonstrated below: Here, we use the formula, Let u = cos(x) and v = 5, then cos(5x) = cos(x · 5)</p>

<p>We will now prove the derivative of cos(5x) using the<a>product</a>rule. The step-by-step process is demonstrated below: Here, we use the formula, Let u = cos(x) and v = 5, then cos(5x) = cos(x · 5)</p>
19
<p>Using the product rule formula: d/dx [u · v] = u' · v + u · v' u' = d/dx (cos(x)) = -sin(x). (substitute u = cos(x))</p>
19
<p>Using the product rule formula: d/dx [u · v] = u' · v + u · v' u' = d/dx (cos(x)) = -sin(x). (substitute u = cos(x))</p>
20
<p>Here we use the chain rule: v = 5 v' = 0</p>
20
<p>Here we use the chain rule: v = 5 v' = 0</p>
21
<p>Again, use the product rule formula: d/dx (cos(5x)) = (-sin(x)) · 5 + cos(x) · 0 = -5sin(x)</p>
21
<p>Again, use the product rule formula: d/dx (cos(5x)) = (-sin(x)) · 5 + cos(x) · 0 = -5sin(x)</p>
22
<p>Thus: d/dx (cos(5x)) = -5sin(5x)</p>

<p>Thus: d/dx (cos(5x)) = -5sin(5x)</p>
