How can we find the derivative of \(7w+\sin{w}\)?

Below is the solution.

\[\frac{d}{dw} 7w+\sin{w}\]

Use Sum Rule: \(\frac{d}{dx} f(x)+g(x)=(\frac{d}{dx} f(x))+(\frac{d}{dx} g(x))\).

\[(\frac{d}{dw} 7w)+(\frac{d}{dw} \sin{w})\]

Use Power Rule: \(\frac{d}{dx} {x}^{n}=n{x}^{n-1}\).

\[7+(\frac{d}{dw} \sin{w})\]

Use Trigonometric Differentiation: the derivative of \(\sin{x}\) is \(\cos{x}\).

\[7+\cos{w}\]
