\frac{d}{d x} (8 cos^{3} (x))

- 24 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (8 cos^{3} (x))

Take the constant out:

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

= 8 \frac{d}{d x} (cos^{3} (x))

Apply the chain rule:

3 (cos (x))^{2} \frac{d}{d x} (cos (x))

= 3 (cos (x))^{2} \frac{d}{d x} (cos (x))

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

= 8 \cdot 3 (cos (x))^{2} (- sin (x))

Simplify

= - 24 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)
