u = x^2   v = cos x    (dy/dx) = uv′ + vu′ = x^2  . −sin x + cos x . 2x         = −x^2  sin x + 2x cos x         = x(2cos x − x sin x)

$${u}\:=\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${v}\:=\:\mathrm{cos}\:{x} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\:=\:{uv}'\:+\:{vu}'\:=\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:.\:−\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:+\:\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\:.\:\mathrm{2}{x} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\:−{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:+\:\mathrm{2}{x}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{x} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\:{x}\left(\mathrm{2cos}\:{x}\:−\:{x}\:\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\right) \\ $$
