Derivative of \( \displaystyle \frac{\sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{2 x + 1} \)

Problem 2.322 · hard

Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = \frac{\sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{2 x + 1} \).
  1. \[ \frac{d}{d x} \frac{\sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{2 x + 1} \]
    rewriteStart with the derivative of the function. Rewrite the denominator using a negative exponent.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} \frac{d}{d x} \frac{1}{2 x + 1} + \frac{\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{2 x + 1} \]
    productApply the product rule.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} \frac{d}{d x} \frac{1}{2 x + 1} + \frac{2 \cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{2 x + 1} \]
    chain constant-multipleDifferentiate the first term using the chain rule. Factor out the constant 2.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = \frac{2 \cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{2 x + 1} - \frac{\sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} \frac{d}{d x} \left(2 x + 1\right)}{\left(2 x + 1\right)^{2}} \]
    chainDifferentiate the second term using the chain rule.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = \frac{2 \cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{2 x + 1} - \frac{2 \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{\left(2 x + 1\right)^{2}} \]
    derivative algebra algebraDifferentiate the inner function 2*x + 1. Simplify the expression by multiplying the constants. Rewrite the negative exponents as denominators.✓ Proved
  6. \[ = \frac{2 \left(2 x + 1\right) \cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} - 2 \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{\left(2 x + 1\right)^{2}} \]
    algebra algebraCombine the terms over a common denominator. Factor out the common factor 2.✓ Proved
Answer \( \frac{2 \cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{2 x + 1} - \frac{2 \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{\left(2 x + 1\right)^{2}} \)

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 2026-09-26 with SymPy 1.14.0.
