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

- \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{d x} (cos (x))

Apply the common derivative:

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

= \frac{1}{2} (- sin (x))

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)
