\frac{d}{d x} (2 cos (4 x))

- 8 sin (4 x)

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (2 cos (4 x))

Take the constant out:

(a \cdot f)^{'} = a \cdot f^{'}

= 2 \frac{d}{d x} (cos (4 x))

Apply the chain rule:

- sin (4 x) \frac{d}{d x} (4 x)

= - sin (4 x) \frac{d}{d x} (4 x)

\frac{d}{d x} (4 x) = 4

= 2 (- sin (4 x) \cdot 4)

Simplify

= - 8 sin (4 x)
