derivative of

1 - cos^{2} (x)

sin (2 x)

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (1 - cos^{2} (x))

Simplify

1 - cos^{2} (x) : sin^{2} (x)

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

= 2 sin (x) cos (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

2 sin (x) cos (x) = sin (2 x)

= sin (2 x)
