What is derivative of function sin(1+x)*cos(1-x)?

We'll use the product rule to determine the derivative of
this function:


(u*v)' = u'*v +
u*v'


We'll use the chain rule to differentiate the terms of
the product.


Let u = sin(1+x) = > u' =
cos(1+x)


Let v = cos (1-x) => v' = -(-1)*sin(1 -
x)


The derivative of the function
is:


y' = cos(1+x)*cos(1-x) +
sin(1+x)*sin(1-x)


We'll transform the product of
trigonometric functions into products:


cos(1+x)*cos(1-x) =
(1/2)*[cos(1+x+1-x) + cos(1+x-1+x)]


cos(1+x)*cos(1-x) =
(cos 2 + cos (2x))/2


sin(1+x)*sin(1-x) =
(1/2)*[cos(1+x-1+x) - cos(1+x+1-x)]


sin(1+x)*sin(1-x) =
(cos (2x) - cos 2)/2


y' = [cos 2 + cos (2x) + cos (2x) -
cos 2]/2


y' = cos
2x


The derivative of the given function is:
y' = cos 2x
