Derivative of \( \displaystyle x - \frac{\sin{\left(6 x + 2 \right)}}{6} \)

Problem 2.1100 · hard

Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = x - \frac{\sin{\left(6 x + 2 \right)}}{6} \).
  1. \[ \frac{d}{d x} \left(x - \frac{\sin{\left(6 x + 2 \right)}}{6}\right) \]
    Start with the derivative of the function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \frac{d}{d x} x - \frac{d}{d x} \frac{\sin{\left(6 x + 2 \right)}}{6} \]
    sumApply the sum rule.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \frac{d}{d x} x - \frac{\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(6 x + 2 \right)}}{6} \]
    constant-multipleFactor out the constant 1/6.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = 1 - \frac{\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(6 x + 2 \right)}}{6} \]
    derivativeThe derivative of x is 1.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = - \frac{\cos{\left(6 x + 2 \right)} \frac{d}{d x} \left(6 x + 2\right)}{6} + 1 \]
    chainApply the chain rule to the sine function.✓ Proved
  6. \[ = 1 - \cos{\left(6 x + 2 \right)} \]
    derivative algebraThe derivative of 6*x + 2 is 6. Simplify the expression by multiplying 1/6 and 6.✓ Proved
Answer \( 1 - \cos{\left(6 x + 2 \right)} \)

✓ Nihil obstat Every line of this solution was proved by the computer algebra system SymPy. The answer was also checked a second way, without looking at the solution. Reviewers found nothing wrong with the explanation.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-09-28 with SymPy 1.14.0.
