How would you differentiate \(11w+\sin{w}\)?

Below is the solution.



\[\frac{d}{dw} 11w+\sin{w}\]

1
Use Sum Rule: \(\frac{d}{dx} f(x)+g(x)=(\frac{d}{dx} f(x))+(\frac{d}{dx} g(x))\).
\[(\frac{d}{dw} 11w)+(\frac{d}{dw} \sin{w})\]

2
Use Power Rule: \(\frac{d}{dx} {x}^{n}=n{x}^{n-1}\).
\[11+(\frac{d}{dw} \sin{w})\]

3
Use Trigonometric Differentiation: the derivative of \(\sin{x}\) is \(\cos{x}\).
\[11+\cos{w}\]
