derivative of

sin^{2} (x) + cos (x)

sin (2 x) - sin (x)

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (sin^{2} (x) + cos (x))

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

(f \pm g)^{'} = f^{'} \pm g^{'}

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

\frac{d}{d x} (sin^{2} (x)) = sin (2 x)

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

= sin (2 x) - sin (x)
